A critical security flaw in Rust enables Windows command injection attacks. The XZ backdoor story involves a multi-stage operation compromising the Rust crate liblzma-sys. Malicious 'test files' linked to the XZ Utils backdoor were found in liblzma-sys, downloaded over 21,000 times. The breach in data compression software XZ Utils highlights the importance of open-source software security. Analysis reveals subtle changes in the code commits suggesting further backdoors were planned. Malicious code in Linux xz libraries endangers SSH. The attempt to insert a secret backdoor into XZ Utils may not be an isolated incident, as per the Open Source Security Foundation and the OpenJS Foundation.
