RUSTSEC-2026-0039
`chrono_anchor` was removed from crates.io due to malicious code
Details
The `chrono_anchor` crate attempted to exfiltrate `.env` files to a server that was in turn impersonating the legitimate `timeapi.io` service.
The malicious crate had 1 version published on 2026-03-04 approximately 6 days before removal and had no evidence of actual downloads. There were no crates depending on this crate on crates.io.
Thanks to [Socket][socket] for reporting this crate. They have published [a blog post][blog] about this recent campaign, and we advise users of `timeapi.io` to exercise caution when using crates to interact with that service.
