Exploitation and risk
Source statusCISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.
Which CVEs have scores here?
This view includes predictions for CVE identifiers explicitly listed in public NuGet advisories. Microsoft release pages have their own prediction coverage. Check source status for the scope and latest checks.
No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.
cve-program · CVE-2025-5791
PublishedA flaw was found in the user's crate for Rust. This vulnerability allows privilege escalation via incorrect group listing when a user or process has fewer than exactly 1024 groups, leading to the erroneous inclusion of the root group in the access list.

PublishedAffected versions append `root` to group listings, unless the correct listing has exactly 1024 groups. This affects both: - The supplementary groups of a user - The group access list of the current process If the caller uses this information for access control, this may lead to privilege escalation. This crate is not currently maintained, so a patched version is not available. Versions older than 0.8.0 do not contain the affected functions, so downgrading to them is a workaround. ## Recommended alternatives - [`uzers`](https://crates.io/crates/uzers) (an actively maintained fork of the `users` crate) - [`sysinfo`](https://crates.io/crates/sysinfo)
