scaly: Multiple soundness issues in Rust safe APIs
Real-World Exposure
scalyReal-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
Affected versions contain multiple safe APIs that can trigger undefined behavior:
Array<T>::indexcan perform an out-of-bounds read.String::get_lengthcan perform an out-of-bounds read.String::append_charactercan perform an invalid write.String::to_c_stringcan perform an out-of-bounds write.
These issues were reproduced against scaly 0.0.37 under Miri. The crate is unmaintained.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for scaly, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
No patched version of scaly has shipped for GHSA-2c6h-4899-wjxr yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-2c6h-4899-wjxr can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-2c6h-4899-wjxr. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-2c6h-4899-wjxr in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-2c6h-4899-wjxr across crates.io dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
