Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Cargo versions prior to 1.96.0
Description Cargo incorrectly handled symbolic links (symlinks)—which are files that point to another file or directory—inside crate tarballs downloaded from third-party registries. This allows a malicious crate to override the source code of another crate originating from the same registry.
Recommendations Update to version 1.96.0.
