An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of RUSTSEC-2026-0040 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- tracing-ethers (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/RUSTSEC-2026-0040/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/RUSTSEC-2026-0040/index.md)","id":"RUSTSEC-2026-0040","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/RUSTSEC-2026-0040/index.md","name":"RUSTSEC-2026-0040","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Rust crate","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malicious Rust crate exfiltrated SSH keys to a remote server, requiring developers to avoid using the removed package.","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":"The `tracing-ethers` crate attempted to exfiltrate ssh keys to an app hosted on `vercel.app`\n\nThe malicious crate had 9 version published on 2026-03-09 approximately 5 days\nbefore removal and had no evidence of actual downloads.
