Read version of project in yaml file from pom.xml in azure-pipelines

I have a pom.xml file that includes my project version like this

 <version> 1.14.0 </version>

and I also have a YAML file that autogenerates a GitHub tag when the tests have passed and it's like this

- job: createTag
    dependsOn: ifBranchIsMaster
    condition: and(succeeded(), eq(variables['Build.SourceBranch'], 'refs/heads/master')
    steps:
      - task: GitHubRelease@0
        displayName: ‘Create GitHub Release’
        inputs:
          gitHubConnection: $(GITHUB_CONNECTION)
          repositoryName: $(GITHUB_REPO)
          action: create
          tag: 1.14.0

and I want to remove from my YAML file the hard-coded version tag and read it from pom.xml immediately is there any way that can happen I try to minimize the hard-coded version to 1. I want to change it in 1 place and change everywhere.

so I figured out a script that solves my problem and reads the <version>1.14.1</version> inside all the pom.xml

thats a powershell script

[xml]$pomXml = Get-Content .\pom.xml
# version
Write-Host $pomXml.project.version
$version=$pomXml.project.version
Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=version]$version"

and also i will provide and bash script in case of anyone want it

#!/usr/bin/env bash
version=$(grep version pom.xml | grep -v '<?xml' | grep '<version>'|head -n 1|awk '{print $1}'| cut -d'>' -f 2 | cut -d'<' -f 1)
echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=version]$version"

that's the ways I find that I can get the version from the pom.xml
