Real-World Exposure
ruspiro-singletonReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Singleton<T> is meant to be a static object that can be initialized lazily. In
order to satisfy the requirement that static items must implement Sync,
Singleton implemented both Sync and Send unconditionally.
This allows for a bug where non-Sync types such as Cell can be used in
singletons and cause data races in concurrent programs.
The flaw was corrected in commit b0d2bd20e by adding trait bounds, requiring
the contaiend type to implement Sync.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for ruspiro-singleton, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update ruspiro-singleton to 0.4.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2020-36435 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
