This project depends on Solana runtime crates, which may include transitive vulnerabilities such as OpenSSL, rustls, webpki, ed25519-dalek, curve25519-dalek, and other upstream ecosystem dependencies.

We:

• Regularly update dependencies
• Analyze dependency graphs using cargo tree
• Validate dependency updates using cargo test
• Review security advisories from GitHub Dependabot and RustSec
• Evaluate vulnerabilities based on actual execution paths
• Avoid direct usage of unsafe or vulnerable APIs
• Avoid forced dependency overrides that may break Solana or Agave compatibility

Not all reported vulnerabilities are directly exploitable in this project.

Each alert is reviewed based on:

• Direct vs transitive dependency
• Whether the vulnerable code path is used
• Whether the dependency is reachable from this project
• Exposure to untrusted input
• Availability of a compatible upstream fix
• Risk of breaking Solana or Agave dependency compatibility

Non-applicable or upstream-controlled vulnerabilities are documented and monitored for upstream fixes.
