rusty_paseto vulnerable to private key extraction due to ed25519-dalek dependency

GHSA-j57r-4qw6-58r3

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (rusty-paseto 0.6.0), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact The vulnerability, known as RUSTSEC-2022-0093, impacts the ed25519-dalek crate, which is a dependency of the rusty-paseto crate. This issue arises from a "Double Public Key Signing Function Oracle Attack" affecting versions of ed25519-dalek prior to v2.0. These versions expose an unsafe API for serializing and deserializing 64-byte keypairs that include both private and public keys, creating potential for certain attacks. d25519-dalek users utilizing these serialization and deserialization functions directly could potentially be impacted. Patches The vulnerability within the ed25519-dalek crate has been addressed in version 2.0. rusty-paseto has addressed it in release v0.6.0. Workarounds Users are recommended to upgrade to v0.6.0 of rusty-paseto. However, users should still ensure that their key serialization and deserialization practices are secure and avoid any practices that could lead to key exposure.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-j57r-4qw6-58r3

Advisory: rusty_paseto vulnerable to private key extraction due to ed25519-dalek dependency
IDs: GHSA-j57r-4qw6-58r3
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-j57r-4qw6-58r3 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:37 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: rusty-paseto 0.6.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- crates.io rusty-paseto: affected <= 0.5.0; fixed in 0.6.0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- crates.io rusty-paseto: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on rusty-paseto.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-j57r-4qw6-58r3 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-j57r-4qw6-58r3 lists affected ranges: crates.io rusty-paseto >=0 <=0.5.0)

Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
