- Fixed in
- 1.3.1-dev.34027618345.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- A new version of the `greentic-setup` crate was published with a variant of the PolinRider malware included that would fire when a project depending on `greentic-setup` was opened in Visual Studio Code. One malicious version was published on 2026-09-06, approximately 27 hours before removal. This crate is depended on by four other crates in the Greentic ecosystem, namely `greentic-start`, `greentic-start-dev`, `greentic-operator`, and `greentic-operator-dev`. We have no evidence that this crate version was downloaded by any actual users, but Greentic users should check their systems nonetheless. Thanks to the Research Team at Nextron Systems GmbH for the report.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.3.1-dev.34027618345.0 (pre-release) or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
