An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of RUSTSEC-2026-0171 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- logflux (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-2026-0171/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/RUSTSEC-2026-0171/index.md)","id":"RUSTSEC-2026-0171","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/RUSTSEC-2026-0171/index.md","name":"RUSTSEC-2026-0171","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Rust crate","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malicious Rust crate named logflux was published to crates.io, attempting to download and execute a payload on the user's machine.","user_interaction":"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 `logflux` crate attempted to download and run a malicious payload on the\nuser's machine.\n\nThe malicious crate had 1 version published on 2026-04-26, approximately 1\nmonth before removal, and had no evidence of actual usage.
