Comment 1 Josh Stone 2025-06-10 16:14:03 UTC
> In applications using idna (but not in idna itself) this may be able to lead to privilege escalation when host name comparison is part of a privilege check

The Rust toolchain does not use any host names or URLs for privilege separation, so the vulnerability doesn't apply.
