CVE-2026-5223 Medium · 5.3 CWE-61 May 25, 2026
Crates in third party registries can override the cached source of other crates
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.
