, which produces a report of how long the different steps of the build process took. It includes lists of Cargo features for each crate. Prior to Rust 1.72, Cargo feature names were allowed to contain almost any characters (with some exceptions as used by the feature syntax), but it would produce a future incompatibility warning about them since Rust 1.49. crates.io is far more stringent about what it considers a valid feature name and has not allowed such feature names. As the feature names were included unescaped in the timings report, they could be used to inject Javascript into the page, for example with a feature name like `features = [<img src>#%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80900

"The version of rust installed on the remote host is prior to 1.68.2-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2426 advisory.
- Cargo downloads a Rust project's dependencies and compiles the project. Starting in Rust 1.60.0 and prior
to 1.72, Cargo did not escape Cargo feature names when including them in the report generated by `cargo
build --timings`. A malicious package included as a dependency may inject nearly arbitrary HTML here,
potentially leading to cross-site scripting if the report is subsequently uploaded somewhere. The
vulnerability affects users relying on dependencies from git, local paths, or alternative registries.
Users who solely depend on crates.io are unaffected. Rust 1.60.0 introduced `cargo build --timings`, which
produces a report of how long the different steps of the build process took. It includes lists of Cargo
features for each crate. Prior to Rust 1.72, Cargo feature names were allowed to contain almost any
characters (with some exceptions as used by the feature syntax), but it would produce a future
incompatibility warning about them since Rust 1.49. crates.io is far more stringent about what it
considers a valid feature name and has not allowed such feature names. As the feature names were included
unescaped in the timings report, they could be used to inject Javascript into the page, for example with a
feature name like `features = [<img src='' onerror=alert(0)]`. If this report were subsequently uploaded
to a domain that uses credentials, the injected Javascript could access resources from the website
visitor. This issue was fixed in Rust 1.72 by turning the future incompatibility warning into an error.
Users should still exercise care in which package they download, by only including trusted dependencies in
their projects. Please note that even with these vulnerabilities fixed, by design Cargo allows arbitrary
code execution at build time thanks to build scripts and procedural macros: a malicious dependency will be
able to cause damage regardless of these vulnerabilities. crates.io has server-side checks preventing this
attack, and there are no packages on crates.io exploiting these vulnerabilities. crates.io users still
need to excercise care in choosing their dependencies though, as remote code execution is allowed by
design there as well. (CVE-2023-40030)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
