RustSec Advisory Database

The RustSec Advisory Database is a repository of security advisories filed against Rust crates published via https://crates.io

Advisory metadata is stored in TOML format (see below). The following tools consume the data and can be used for auditing and reporing (send PRs to add yours):

• cargo-audit: Audit Cargo.lock files for crates with security vulnerabilities

Reporting Vulnerabilities

To report a new vulnerability, open a pull request using the template below. See CONTRIBUTING.md for more information.
