GHSA-rvr2-r3pv-5m4p
oneshot has potential Use After Free when used asynchronously
Blast Radius
oneshotReal-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
There is a race condition that can lead to a use-after-free if a oneshot::Receiver is polled but then dropped instead of polled to completion. This could happen if the receiver future was cancelled while receiving, for example by being wrapped in a timeout future or similar.
When the Receiver is polled (Future::poll) it writes a waker to the channel and sets it to the RECEIVING state. If the Receiver was then dropped (instead of polled to completion), the Drop implementation on Receiver unconditionally swapped the channel state to DISCONNECTED and only after doing so it read back its waker from the heap allocation and dropped it. The problem is that the DISCONNECTED state could be observed by the Sender, which would lead to it deallocating the channel heap memory. If the Sender manage to free the channel before the Receiver managed to proceed to dropping the waker, then the Receiver would read from the freed channel memory (Use After Free).
The fix was submitted in https://github.com/faern/oneshot/pull/74 and published as part of oneshot version 0.1.12.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for oneshot. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update oneshot to 0.1.12 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-rvr2-r3pv-5m4p 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 pinpoints whether GHSA-rvr2-r3pv-5m4p is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-rvr2-r3pv-5m4p. 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-rvr2-r3pv-5m4p in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-rvr2-r3pv-5m4p across crates.io dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
