cargo-supply-chain VS rustsec

Great news! Sounds like a good way to add caching to cargo supply-chain. There's a lot of small chunks of data we want to persist.

Shameless plug: https://github.com/rust-secure-code/cargo-supply-chain shows the supply chain attack surface for your Rust project.

I'm very happy with it for cargo supply-chain. I appreciate that it has no unsafe code, no sprawling dependency tree, and supports OsStr in addition to just &str.

I've used bpaf for cargo supply-chain and I'm very happy with it.

https://github.com/rust-secure-code/cargo-supply-chain can also help here.

cargo supply-chain list the publishers of all crates in your dependency graph. With it you can:

cargo-audit is a simple Cargo tool for detecting vulnerable Rust crates. You can install it with cargo install cargo-audit, use cargo audit and you’re done! Any vulnerable crates will appear below, like so:

Further we use cargo-auditable and cargo-audit as part of both our pipeline and regular scanning of all deployed services. This makes our InfoSec and Legal super happy since it means they can also monitor compliance with licenses and patch/update timings.

Yeah your decade old single header libs get so many audits by comparison.

cargo is not npm

PSA: before filing CVEs for other people's projects, file an issue with https://rustsec.org instead

Historically, such serious bugs get communicated broadly and addressed very quickly via security advisory blog posts and on https://rustsec.org.

For known vulnerabilities we have the rustsec vulnerability database. You could have a look over there for inspiration. There's also the related cargo-audit for checking dependencies for known vulnerabilities.

Would be cool if this was also reported to https://rustsec.org/ that way cargo audit could pick up and alert the users about it.

P.S. I also made scanning binaries 5x faster in the latest release of cargo audit.

Thanks to cargo and the community, project maintenance is straightforward in rust. You'll need to install cargo-outdated and cargo-audit:

Use the automated tools to assist you in the maintenance of your projects: rustfmt, clippy, cargo update, cargo outdated and cargo-audit.
