Adverserial use of make_bitflags! macro can cause undefined behavior

GHSA-qvc4-78gw-pv8p

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (enumflags2 0.7.7), 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.

The macro relied on an expression of the form Enum::Variant always being a variant of the enum. However, it may also be an associated integer constant, in which case there's no guarantee that the value of said constant consists only of bits valid for this bitflag type. Thus, code like this could create an invalid BitFlags<Test, which would cause iterating over it to trigger undefined behavior. As the debug formatter internally iterates over the value, it is also affected.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-qvc4-78gw-pv8p

Advisory: Adverserial use of `make_bitflags!` macro can cause undefined behavior
IDs: GHSA-qvc4-78gw-pv8p
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-qvc4-78gw-pv8p (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:33 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: enumflags2 0.7.7. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- crates.io enumflags2: affected >= 0.7.0, < 0.7.7; fixed in 0.7.7

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- crates.io enumflags2: 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 enumflags2.
- 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-qvc4-78gw-pv8p (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-qvc4-78gw-pv8p lists affected ranges: crates.io enumflags2 >=0.7.0 <0.7.7)
