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/RUSTSEC-2016-0005/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/RUSTSEC-2016-0005/index.md)","id":"RUSTSEC-2016-0005","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/RUSTSEC-2016-0005/index.md","name":"RUSTSEC-2016-0005","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["other"],"network_reachable":"unknown","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Rust crypto library","requires_auth":"unknown","summary":"The rust-crypto crate is unmaintained and unresponsive, requiring developers to switch to modern alternatives like ring or RustCrypto.","user_interaction":"unknown","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"The `rust-crypto` crate has not seen a release or GitHub commit since 2016,\nand its author is unresponsive.\n\n*NOTE: The (old) `rust-crypto` crate (with hyphen) should not be confused with\nsimilarly named (new) [RustCrypto GitHub Org] (without hyphen).
