Cargo Audit

Run cargo audit to check for security vulnerabilities in dependencies.

Steps

1. Check if cargo-audit is installed: cargo audit --version 2>/dev/null
   • If not installed: cargo install cargo-audit
2. Run: cargo audit
3. Summarize any advisories found (ID, crate, description, severity)
4. If no advisories: confirm all dependencies are clean

Output

Report advisory count, severity levels, and whether any affected crates are in the direct dependency list vs transitive (check Cargo.toml to distinguish).
