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-2024-0015"toignorein.cargo/audit.tomlordeny.toml, with a comment saying why. - Find who pulls it in:
cargo tree -i filesystem.

The maintainer(s) have not responded to a pull request to update dependencies that are themselves unmaintained, and which poses the question of maintenance.
