{"id":"RUSTSEC-2026-0281","summary":"`greentic-setup` 1.3.1-dev.34027618345 was removed from crates.io due to containing malicious code","details":"A new version of the `greentic-setup` crate was published with a variant\nof the PolinRider malware included that would fire when a project\ndepending on `greentic-setup` was opened in Visual Studio Code.\n\nOne malicious version was published on 2026-09-06, approximately 27 hours\nbefore removal. This crate is depended on by four other crates in the\nGreentic ecosystem, namely `greentic-start`, `greentic-start-dev`,\n`greentic-operator`, and `greentic-operator-dev`. We have no evidence that this\ncrate version was downloaded by any actual users, but Greentic users should\ncheck their systems nonetheless.\n\nThanks to the Research Team at Nextron Systems GmbH for the report.","modified":"2026-09-07T18:23:30.834474167Z","published":"2026-09-07T12:00:00Z","database_specific":{"license":"CC0-1.0"},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://crates.io/crates/greentic-setup"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2026-0281.html"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"greentic-setup","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/greentic-setup"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"1.3.1-dev.34027618345"},{"fixed":"1.3.1-dev.34027618345.0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"affected_functions":null,"affects":{"functions":[],"arch":[],"os":[]}},"database_specific":{"informational":null,"categories":["malicious"],"cvss":null,"source":"https://github.com/rustsec/advisory-db/blob/osv/crates/RUSTSEC-2026-0281.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
