Summary
Inventory exposes reference to non-Sync data to an arbitrary thread
Affected versions do not enforce a Sync bound on the type of caller-provided value held in the plugin registry. References to these values are made accessible to arbitrary threads other than the one that constructed them.
A caller could use this flaw to submit thread-unsafe data into inventory, then access it as a reference simultaneously from multiple threads.
The flaw was corrected by enforcing that data submitted by the caller into inventory is Sync.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is GHSA-36XM-35QQ-795W? GHSA-36XM-35QQ-795W is a medium-severity security vulnerability in inventory (rust), affecting versions < 0.2.0. It is fixed in 0.2.0.
- Which versions of inventory are affected by GHSA-36XM-35QQ-795W? inventory (rust) versions < 0.2.0 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-36XM-35QQ-795W? Yes. GHSA-36XM-35QQ-795W is fixed in 0.2.0. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is GHSA-36XM-35QQ-795W exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-36XM-35QQ-795W is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether GHSA-36XM-35QQ-795W is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
