CVE-2026-5223MEDIUM | Crates in third party registries can override the cached source of other cratesCargo incorrectly handled symlinks inside of crate tarballs downloaded from third-party registries, allowing a malicious crate to override the source code of another crate from the same registry. The severity of the vulnerability is **medium** for users of third-party registries. Users of crates.io are **not affected**, as crates.io forbids uploading crates containing any symlink.

Cargo can be coerced to share credentials between registriesCargo between 1.68 and 1.96 incorrectly normalized the URLs of third-party registries using the sparse index protocol. If a hosting provider allowed multiple registries to be hosted with arbitrary names within the same domain, an attacker able to publish crates in a registry could obtain the credentials of others users of the same registry. The severity of the vulnerability is **low**, due to the extremely niche requirements needed to achieve the attack.

CVE-2023-40030MEDIUM | Malicious dependencies can inject arbitrary JavaScript into cargo-generated timing reportsCargo downloads a Rust project’s dependencies and compiles the project. Starting in Rust 1.60.0 and prior to 1.72, Cargo did not escape Cargo feature names when including them in the report generated by `cargo build --timings`. A malicious package included as a dependency may inject nearly arbitrary HTML here, potentially leading to cross-site scripting if the report is subsequently uploaded somewhere. The vulnerability affects users relying on dependencies from git, local paths, or alternative … CWE-79Aug 24, 2023 | CVSS6.1v3.1 | EPSS0.846% | PoCs0 | SignalsNot listed in CISA KEVNo known ransomware useNo Nuclei templates | STIX |
CVE-2023-38497HIGH | Cargo not respecting umask when extracting crate archivesCargo downloads the Rust project’s dependencies and compiles the project. Cargo prior to version 0.72.2, bundled with Rust prior to version 1.71.1, did not respect the umask when extracting crate archives on UNIX-like systems. If the user downloaded a crate containing files writeable by any local user, another local user could exploit this to change the source code compiled and executed by the current user. To prevent existing cached extractions from being exploitable, the Cargo binary version 0… | CVSS7.8v3.1 | EPSS0.731% | PoCs1 | SignalsNot listed in CISA KEVNo known ransomware useNo Nuclei templates | STIX |
CVE-2022-46176MEDIUM | Cargo did not verify SSH host keysCargo is a Rust package manager. The Rust Security Response WG was notified that Cargo did not perform SSH host key verification when cloning indexes and dependencies via SSH. An attacker could exploit this to perform man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. This vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2022-46176. All Rust versions containing Cargo before 1.66.1 are vulnerable. Note that even if you don't explicitly use SSH for alternate registry indexes or crate dependencies, you might be affected by this… CWE-347Jan 11, 2023 | CVSS5.3v3.1 | EPSS0.649% | PoCs0 | SignalsNot listed in CISA KEVNo known ransomware useNo Nuclei templates | STIX |
CVE-2022-36113MEDIUM | Extracting malicious crates can corrupt arbitrary filesCargo is a package manager for the rust programming language. After a package is downloaded, Cargo extracts its source code in the ~/.cargo folder on disk, making it available to the Rust projects it builds. To record when an extraction is successful, Cargo writes "ok" to the .cargo-ok file at the root of the extracted source code once it extracted all the files. It was discovered that Cargo allowed packages to contain a .cargo-ok symbolic link, which Cargo would extract. Then, when Cargo attemp… | CVSS4.6v3.1 | EPSS1.04% | PoCs0 | SignalsNot listed in CISA KEVNo known ransomware useNo Nuclei templates | STIX |
CVE-2022-36114MEDIUM | Extracting malicious crates can fill the file systemCargo is a package manager for the rust programming language. It was discovered that Cargo did not limit the amount of data extracted from compressed archives. An attacker could upload to an alternate registry a specially crafted package that extracts way more data than its size (also known as a "zip bomb"), exhausting the disk space on the machine using Cargo to download the package. Note that by design Cargo allows code execution at build time, due to build scripts and procedural macros.

CVE-2019-16760MEDIUM | Cargo prior to Rust 1.26.0 may download the wrong dependencyCargo prior to Rust 1.26.0 may download the wrong dependency if your package.toml file uses the `package` configuration key. Usage of the `package` key to rename dependencies in `Cargo.toml` is ignored in Rust 1.25.0 and prior. When Rust 1.25.0 and prior is used Cargo may download the wrong dependency, which could be squatted on crates.io to be a malicious package. This not only affects manifests that you write locally yourself, but also manifests published to crates.io. Rust 1.0.0 through Rust … | CVSS4.6v3.1 | EPSS1.26% | PoCs0 | SignalsNot listed in CISA KEVNo known ransomware useNo Nuclei templates | STIX |
