# Use-after-free through \`init_using_cdict\` and \`init_using_ddict\`

Advisory record · `RUSTSEC-2026-0399`

- **Identifiers:** `RUSTSEC-2026-0399`
- **State:** Confirmed
- **Severity:** No CVSS score
- **Critical:** No
- **Published:** 16 Oct 2026
- **Updated:** 2 Nov 2026
- **Reviewed by a person:** No

Published by OSV at 16 Oct 2026, 12:00 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `zstd-safe` (crates.io): affected `>=3.0.0, <7.4.0 || >=8.0.0-0, <8.2.0`; fixed in `7.4.0`, `8.2.0`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Versions 3.0.0 up to 7.4.0 (exclusive) and 8.0.0 up to 8.2.0 (exclusive) of zstd-safe are affected. In these versions, the init_using_cdict and init_using_ddict functions, which are experimental and deprecated, did not tie the lifetime of the context to the dictionary, so a dictionary could be dropped while the context still referenced it, causing a use-after-free. The source gives few details on the attacker's position or what they can achieve. Upgrade to zstd-safe 7.4.0 or 8.2.0.

## 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-2026-0399>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
