It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of GHSA-xp79-9mxw-878j in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- finch-rst (crates.io): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- finch-rst (crates.io): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- finch-rst (crates.io): affected from 0.0.0-0; no fix listed\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-xp79-9mxw-878j/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-xp79-9mxw-878j/index.md)","id":"GHSA-xp79-9mxw-878j","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-xp79-9mxw-878j/index.md","name":"GHSA-xp79-9mxw-878j","record":{"aliases":["RUSTSEC-2025-0150"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Rust crate","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malicious typosquatted Rust crate steals credentials from local files, requiring developers to avoid installing it.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"supply_chain"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"This attempts to typosquat the existing crate [`finch`](https://crates.io/crates/finch) to steal credentials from local files.\n\nThe malicious crate had 1 version published on 2025-12-08 and had been downloaded 21 times.
