What to do
- Look for a maintained fork or alternative crate.
- If you cannot move yet, acknowledge it in your audit config so CI stays green while you plan: add
"RUSTSEC-2023-0051"toignorein.cargo/audit.tomlordeny.toml, with a comment saying why. - Find who pulls it in:
cargo tree -i dlopen_derive.
Details from the advisory
dlopen_derive hasn't been updated since June 9, 2019.
