cargo-vet does not verify reviewers' identity. You have to fully trust the source the audits are from.

does-not-implement-crypto (implies crypto-safe)

Inspection reveals that the crate in question does not attempt to implement any cryptographic algorithms on its own.

Note that certification of this does not require an expert on all forms of cryptography: it's expected for crates we import to be "good enough" citizens, so they'll at least be forthcoming if they try to implement something cryptographic. When in doubt, please ask an expert.

crypto-safe

Implied by other criteria

All crypto algorithms in this crate have been reviewed by a relevant expert.

Note: If a crate does not implement crypto, use does-not-implement-crypto, which implies crypto-safe, but does not require expert review in order to audit for.

safe-to-deploy (implies safe-to-run)

This crate will not introduce a serious security vulnerability to production software exposed to untrusted input. More…

safe-to-run

Implied by other criteria

This crate can be compiled, run, and tested on a local workstation or in controlled automation without surprising consequences. More…

ub-risk-0 (implies ub-risk-1)

No unsafe code.

ub-risk-1 (implies ub-risk-2)

Implied by other criteria

Excellent soundness.

0.9.3 (older version) Rating: Positive Thoroughness: Low Understanding: Medium

by Minoru on 2021-05-01

Runs rustc --verbose --version and parses the result. The binary to run can be overridden via an environment variable RUSTC, which I do not consider as a security risk since it's done at build time.

There is no unsafe, and the code itself is mostly string mangling, so I think this crate is okay.
