CVE-2026-5223 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 3 source packages (cargo, rust-cargo, rustc), 12 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): open 8, resolved 4.
Cargo incorrectly handled symlinks inside of crate tarballs downloaded from third-party registries, allowing a malicious crate to override the source code of another crate from the same registry. The severity of the vulnerability is **medium** for users of third-party registries. Users of crates.io are **not affected**, as crates.io forbids uploading crates containing any symlink.
