`time-sync` was removed from crates.io due to malicious code

The time-sync crate attempted to exfiltrate .env files to a server that was in turn impersonating the legitimate timeapi.io service. This the same attack that we've seen three times in the last few days. The malicious crate had 1 version published on 2026-03-04 approximately 50 minutes before...

`tracing_checks` was removed from crates.io for transitively including malicious code

This is part of an ongoing campaign to attempt to typosquat crates in an attempt to exfiltrate Polymarket credentials. The malicious crate had 1 version published on 2026-02-26 approximately 9 hours before removal and had no evidence of actual usage, both in terms of downloads and dependents. It...

Triton VM Soundness Vulnerability due to Improper Sampling of Randomness

In affected versions of Triton VM, the verifier failed to correctly sample randomness in the FRI sub-protocol. Malicious provers can exploit this to craft proofs for arbitrary statements that this verifier accepts as valid, undermining soundness. Protocols that rely on proofs and the supplied...

ConstStaticCell could have been used to pass non-Send values to another thread

ConstStaticCell could have been used to pass non-Send values to another thread, because T was not required to be Send while ConstStaticCell is Send. This was corrected by introducing a T: Send bound...

Segmentation fault due to lack of bound check

In this case, the "fastfloat::common::AsciiStr::first" method within the "AsciiStr" struct uses the unsafe keyword to reading from memory without performing bounds checking. Specifically, it directly dereferences a pointer offset by "self.ptr". Because of the above reason, the method accesses...

rustls network-reachable panic in `Acceptor::accept`

A bug introduced in rustls 0.23.13 leads to a panic if the received TLS ClientHello is fragmented. Only servers that use rustls::server::Acceptor::accept are affected. Servers that use tokio-rustls's LazyConfigAcceptor API are affected. Servers that use tokio-rustls's TlsAcceptor API are not...

Sequential calls of encryption API (`encrypt`, `wrap`, and `dump`) result in nonce reuse

Problem: Trying to create a new encrypted message with the same cocoon object generates the same ciphertext. It mostly affects MiniCocoon and Cocoon objects with custom seeds and RNGs where StdRng is used under the hood. Note: The issue does NOT affect objects created with Cocoon::new which...

Adverserial use of `make_bitflags!` macro can cause undefined behavior

The macro relied on an expression of the form Enum::Variant always being a variant of the enum. However, it may also be an associated integer constant, in which case there's no guarantee that the value of said constant consists only of bits valid for this bitflag type. Thus, code like this could...

Unsound FFI: Wrong API usage causes write past allocated area

The following usage causes undefined behavior. rust let kp: ntru::types::KeyPair = …; kp.getpublic.exportDefault::default When compiled with debug assertions, the code above will trigger a attempt to subtract with overflow panic before UB occurs. Other mistakes e.g. using EncParams from a differe...

Force cast a &Vec<T> to &[T]

In function Table::asref, a reference of vector is force cast to slice. There are multiple problems here: 1. To guarantee the size is correct, we have to first do Vec::shrinktofit. The function requires a mutable reference, so we have to force cast from immutable to mutable, which is UB. 2. Even ...

Improper validation of Windows paths could lead to directory traversal attack

Path resolution in hyper-staticfile didn't correctly validate Windows paths meaning paths like /foo/bar/c:/windows/web/screen/img101.png would be allowed and respond with the contents of c:/windows/web/screen/img101.png. Thus users could potentially read files anywhere on the filesystem. This onl...

enum_map macro can cause UB when `Enum` trait is incorrectly implemented

Affected versions of this crate did not properly check the length of an enum when using enummap! macro, trusting user-provided length. When the LENGTH in the Enum trait does not match the array length in the EnumArray trait, this can result in the initialization of the enum map with uninitialized...

A malicious coder can get unsound access to TCell or TLCell memory

This is impossible to do by accident, but by carefully constructing marker types to be covariant, a malicious coder can cheat the singleton check in TCellOwner and TLCellOwner, giving unsound access to cell memory. This could take the form of getting two mutable references to the same memory, or ...

`mio` invalidly assumes the memory layout of std::net::SocketAddr

The mio crate has assumed std::net::SocketAddrV4 and std::net::SocketAddrV6 have the same memory layout as the system C representation sockaddr. It has simply casted the pointers to convert the socket addresses to the system representation. The standard library does not say anything about the...

mXSS in ammonia via MathML `annotation-xml` encoding strip

If a certain set of MathML tags are enabled, an attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript code into the user's browser. The annotation-xml tag has slightly different behavior than the other "integration point" tags in MathML and SVG, but ammonia didn't handle it, so it didn't correctly strip the...

Unbounded namespace-declaration allocation in `NsReader` enables memory-exhaustion denial of service

NsReader resolves namespaces by calling NamespaceResolver::push for every Start/Empty event before the event is returned to the caller. push iterated all xmlns / xmlns: attributes on the start tag and, for each one, appended the prefix bytes to an internal buffer and pushed a NamespaceBinding 32...

`pqcrypto-traits` is unmaintained: upstream PQClean project being archived

This crate provides shared trait definitions for the pqcrypto- ecosystem, which wraps C implementations from PQClean.

Invalid pointer arithmetic in `iter()` and `iter_mut()`

The iter and itermut APIs compute current = &children0 as const const RawAutoChild.sub1, which performs pointer subtraction going before the start of the allocation. This is undefined behavior per Rust's pointer arithmetic rules. This can be triggered through safe public APIs — iter and itermut —...

Fragile bounds check when sampling from image

A read of pixels was coded as modifying coordinates to lie within the image bounds. It would calculate a coordinate by adding a constant to an input and taking the minimum of the resulting coordinate and 'dimension - 1'. This would not protect against malicious inputs that could overflow the...

NSEC3 closest-encloser proof validation enters unbounded loop on cross-zone responses

The NSEC3 closest-encloser proof validation in hickory-net's DnssecDnsHandle walks from the QNAME up to the SOA owner name, building a list of candidate encloser names. The iterator used assumes the QNAME is a descendant of the SOA owner, terminating only when the current candidate equals the SOA...

PAX Header Desynchronization in astral-tokio-tar

Versions of astral-tokio-tar prior to 0.6.1 contain a PAX header interpretation bug that allows manipulated entries to be made selectively visible or invisible during extraction with astral-tokio-tar versus other tar implementations. An attacker could use this differential to smuggle unexpected...

Unsoundness in opt-in ARMv8 assembly backend for `keccak`

Summary The asm! block enabled by the off-by-default asm feature, when enabled on ARMv8 targets, misspecified the operand type for all of its operands, using in for pointers and values which were subsequently mutated by operations performed within the assembly block. Impact It's unclear what...

`VMABuffer::set_data` may allow out-of-bounds writes from safe code

VMABuffer::setdata was a publicly accessible safe function. It accepted an arbitrary offset and a data slice, then used the offset in unsafe pointer arithmetic before copying the slice into a mapped allocation. Affected versions did not check that the requested write range fit within the allocati...

Risk of buffer overflow in `PyString::from_object`

PyString::fromobject took &str arguments and forwarded them directly to the Python C API without checking for terminating nul bytes. This could lead the Python interpreter to read beyond the end of the &str data and potentially leak contents of the out-of-bounds read by raising a Python exception...
