Error: Failed to install the MSDO CLI nuget package while running behind proxy

Start at the MicrosoftSecurityDevOps@1 task's MSDO CLI NuGet installation entry point and its proxy handling, then reproduce the example YAML on a self-hosted Windows or Linux agent behind a proxy. Done means the package installs through api.nuget.org and the secret-scanning task completes successfully.

After the update to the 1.7.x version, the MicrosoftSecurityDevOps@1 started to fail in Azure DevOps self-hosted agents configured behind a proxy
It's failling in both Windows and Linux agents. The below logs are from Windows2022 agents

In previous versions, 1.6.x ,when it had dependency on dotnet, execution was fine
