Real-World Exposure
arrReal-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
arr crate contains multiple security issues. Specifically,
- It incorrectly implements Sync/Send bounds, which allows to smuggle non-Sync/Send types across the thread boundary.
- Index and IndexMut implementation does not check the array bound.
- Array::new_from_template() drops uninitialized memory.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for arr, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
No patched version of arr has shipped for GHSA-c7fw-cr3w-wvfc 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.
