FUSE-Rust: Uninitalized memory read and leak caused by fuser crate
Real-World Exposure
fuserReal-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
During the creation of a new libfuse session with fuse_session_new, the operation list was passed as NULL incorrectly. libfuse expects this argument to always point to list of operations. This caused uninitialized memory read and leaks in libfuse.so.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for fuser, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update fuser to 0.16.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-cvmj-47v9-35m9 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-cvmj-47v9-35m9 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-cvmj-47v9-35m9. 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-cvmj-47v9-35m9 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-cvmj-47v9-35m9 across crates.io dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
