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-2026-0281 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- greentic-setup (crates.io): affected from 1.3.1-dev.34027618345; fixed in 1.3.1-dev.34027618345.0\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-2026-0281/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/RUSTSEC-2026-0281/index.md)","id":"RUSTSEC-2026-0281","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/RUSTSEC-2026-0281/index.md","name":"RUSTSEC-2026-0281","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Rust crate","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malicious version of the greentic-setup Rust crate was published, allowing code execution when projects are opened in VS Code.","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":"A new version of the `greentic-setup` crate was published with a variant\nof the PolinRider malware included that would fire when a project\ndepending on `greentic-setup` was opened in Visual Studio Code.\n\nOne malicious version was published on 2026-09-06, approximately 27 hours\nbefore removal.
