No severity ratings or metrics are available. When they are, we'll update the corresponding info on the page.
The chrono anchor crate attempted to exfiltrate .env files to a server that was in turn impersonating the legitimate timeapi.io service.
The malicious crate had 1 version published on 2026-03-04 approximately 6 days before removal and had no evidence of actual downloads. There were no crates depending on this crate on crates.io.
Thanks to Socket for reporting this crate. They have published a blog post about this recent campaign, and we advise users of timeapi.io to exercise caution when using crates to interact with that service.
