![]() crates.io implemented server-side checks to reject these kinds of packages years ago, and there are no packages on crates.io exploiting these vulnerabilities. Please note that even with these vulnerabilities fixed, by design Cargo allows arbitrary code execution at build time thanks to build scripts and procedural macros: a malicious dependency will be able to cause damage regardless of these vulnerabilities. Mitigations We recommend users of alternate registries to exercise care in which package they download, by only including trusted dependencies in their projects. Patch files are available for Rust 1.63.0 are available in the wg-security-response repository for people building their own toolchain. Since the vulnerability is just a more limited way to accomplish what a malicious build scripts or procedural macros can do, we decided not to publish Rust point releases backporting the security fix. Rust 1.64, to be released on September 22nd, will include a fix for it. The vulnerability is present in all versions of Cargo. Your dependencies must still be trusted if you want to be protected from attacks, as it's possible to perform the same attacks with build scripts and procedural macros. The vulnerabilities in this advisory allow performing a subset of the possible damage in a harder to track down way. Note that by design Cargo allows code execution at build time, due to build scripts and procedural macros. This would allow an attacker to corrupt one file on the machine using Cargo to extract the package. cargo-ok, it would actually replace the first two bytes of the file the symlink pointed to with ok. Then, when Cargo attempted to write "ok" into. cargo-ok symbolic link, which Cargo would extract. It was discovered that Cargo allowed packages to contain a. ![]() cargo-ok file at the root of the extracted source code once it extracted all the files. To record when an extraction is successful, Cargo writes "ok" to the. After a package is downloaded, Cargo extracts its source code in the ~/.cargo folder on disk, making it available to the Rust projects it builds. Cargo is a package manager for the rust programming language. ![]()
