Description
This crate was part of a typosquatting malware cluster published by the
malicious user amaperf and contained a malware payload in build.rs to
exfiltrate host information to the attacker.
This advisory is to retrospectively document this attempted attack. The version
information and download records of the malicious crate are no longer
available. The related malicious crates have been yanked, and the malicious
account has been banned.
Thanks to Louis Lang at Phylum (now Veracode) for reporting this malware
campaign.
