- A new version of the `append-only-vec` crate was published with a direct dependency on `proc-macro1`, which would execute a malicious build script. The compromised version of this crate was published on 2026-08-20, and was removed approximately 107 minutes later. The compromised crate version was used as part of a malware campaign targeted at users of `arrayref`, which was downloaded 2,285 times before being removed; see [the `arrayref` advisory][arrayref-advisory] for more detail.

Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.1.10-0 (pre-release) or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
