Description

An issue was discovered in the actix-web crate before 0.7.15 for Rust. It can add the Send marker trait to an object that cannot be sent between threads safely, leading to memory corruption.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for actix-web, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update actix-web to 0.7.19 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7x36-h62w-vw65 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Constrain what reaches the vulnerable code: limit the size and shape of untrusted input, isolate the affected component in a sandboxed or least-privileged process, and enable the platform's memory-safety mitigations (ASLR, stack protector, hardened allocator) so an out-of-bounds access is more likely to fail closed than to be exploitable.
