Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Impact
HGRCPATH, CARGO_BUILD_RUSTC_WRAPPER, RUSTC_WRAPPER, and MAKEFLAGS missing from exec env denylist — RCE via build tool env injection (GHSA-cm8v-2vh9-cxf3 class).
Missing denylist entries allowed hostile build-tool environment variables to influence host exec commands.
