# Remote DoS through unchecked \`IdList\` allocation in negentropy

Advisory record · `RUSTSEC-2026-0365`

- **Identifiers:** `RUSTSEC-2026-0365`
- **State:** Confirmed
- **Severity:** CVSS 7.5 High
- **Critical:** No
- **Published:** 14 Oct 2026
- **Updated:** 16 Oct 2026
- **Reviewed by a person:** No

Published by OSV at 14 Oct 2026, 12:00 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `negentropy` (crates.io): affected `>=0.2.0, <0.4.4 || >=0.5.0, <0.5.2`; fixed in `0.4.4`, `0.5.2`

## Machine-written summary

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

> The negentropy crate on crates.io, versions 0.2.0 before 0.4.4 and 0.5.0 before 0.5.2, is vulnerable with the default std feature enabled. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a small malformed reconciliation message that forces a huge memory allocation, aborting the application. Upgrade to negentropy 0.4.4 or 0.5.2. A message-size limit alone does not prevent this.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/RUSTSEC-2026-0365>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
