Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The arone crate, all versions, was removed from crates.io for containing malicious code that ran through a build script. The source says it was part of a malware campaign aimed at users of arrayref, and it gives few further details. No fixed version is listed; the crate has been removed, so the advice is to remove it from any project that depends on it.
