Real-World Exposure
toodeeReal-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
An off-by-one error in the DrainCol::drop destructor could cause an unsafe memory copy operation to exceed the bounds of the associated vector.
The error was related to the size of the data being copied in one of the ptr::copy invocations inside the destructor.
When removing the first column from a TooDee object, the DrainCol return object could cause a heap buffer overflow vulnerability when it is dropped.
The issue was fixed in commit e6e16d5 by reducing the copied size by one.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for toodee, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update toodee to 0.6.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-pfp7-vxgr-83pw is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
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.
