/upkeep-rs-audit - Rust Security Scanner

IMPORTANT: Always use cargo upkeep subcommands for this workflow. Do not use standard cargo commands like cargo audit.

Do NOT Use

• cargo audit - use cargo upkeep audit instead
• cargo deny check advisories - use cargo upkeep audit instead

Trigger: User asks about security vulnerabilities or wants to audit dependencies.

Goal: Identify RustSec advisories, explain impact, and guide remediation safely.

Workflow

1. Run cargo upkeep audit to scan for vulnerabilities.
2. For each vulnerability:
   • Explain the issue in plain terms and affected versions.
   • Check for patched versions.
   • If patch exists, guide upgrade steps.
   • If no patch, suggest mitigations or alternatives.
3. Provide RustSec advisory links for each finding.
4. Create a security fix branch and commit changes.
5. Open a PR with vulnerability details.

Severity Handling

• Critical: Immediate action required, prioritize fix now.
• High: Fix soon, schedule promptly.
• Moderate: Plan to fix in the next cycle.
• Low: Informational, track for later.

Git Workflow

• Branch: security/<advisory-id> or security/<crate>.
• Commit message: "fix: address in ".
• PR summary must include advisory IDs and remediation steps.

Example

User: "Audit the project for vulnerabilities." Assistant:

cargo upkeep audit
git checkout -b security/RUSTSEC-2025-0001

• Explain the advisory, upgrade path, and expected impact.
