How severe is GHSA-xcpm-76hf-c9cc?

No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-xcpm-76hf-c9cc yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-xcpm-76hf-c9cc?

GHSA-xcpm-76hf-c9cc affects the following packages: borrowck_sacrifices (crates.io). Ecosystems affected: crates.io.

How do I fix GHSA-xcpm-76hf-c9cc?

Update borrowck_sacrifices to 0.2.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-xcpm-76hf-c9cc is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-xcpm-76hf-c9cc in my crates.io dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-xcpm-76hf-c9cc if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-xcpm-76hf-c9cc?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-xcpm-76hf-c9cc can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-xcpm-76hf-c9cc actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-xcpm-76hf-c9cc yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

When was GHSA-xcpm-76hf-c9cc published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-xcpm-76hf-c9cc was published on October 22, 2025 and was last updated on October 28, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-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

The safe function any_as_u8_slice can create byte slices that reference uninitialized memory when used with types containing padding bytes.

The function uses slice::from_raw_parts to create a &[u8] covering the entire size of a type, including padding bytes. According to Rust's documentation, from_raw_parts requires all bytes to be properly initialized, but padding bytes in structs are not guaranteed to be initialized. This violates the safety contract and causes undefined behavior.
