RUSTSEC-2026-0394 Build environment compiled into the library and readable at runtime

The build script of rustpython-vm 0.3.0 through 0.5.0 writes every environment variable of the build into $OUT_DIR/env_vars.rs. The crate compiles that file into _sysconfigdata's build_time_vars. That module is always compiled.

A binary built in CI with secrets in the environment carries those secrets in clear text. Registry tokens, cloud credentials and API keys are the usual ones. Anyone with the binary can read them with strings or from Python.

Version 0.6.0 removes the dump and the include. Users of earlier versions should upgrade, rebuild, and ship new binaries. Every secret that was in the environment of a past build whose output left the build machine should be treated as exposed.

Jacob Finkelman first reported the issue in #8802. Bitbison's automated supply chain scanning then detected credential data from the build environment flowing into artifacts that third-party software ships in the wild. The leak was confirmed in the published release binaries of at least four dependants but others have been impacted.
