GHSA-hhw4-xg65-fp2x: serde_yml crate is unsound and unmaintained

Using `serde_yml::ser::Serializer.emitter` can cause a segmentation fault, which is unsound. The GitHub project for `serde_yml` was archived after unsoundness issues were raised. If you rely on this crate, it is highly recommended switching to a maintained alternative. ## Recommended alternatives - [`serde_norway`](https://crates.io/crates/serde_norway) - Maintained fork of `serde_yaml`, using `unsafe-libyaml-norway` - [`serde_yaml_ng`](https://crates.io/crates/serde_yaml_ng) - Maintained fork of `serde_yaml`, using unmaintained `unsafe-libyaml` ## Incomplete pure Rust alternatives These implementation do not rely on C `libyaml`. - [`serde_yaml2`](https://crates.io/crates/serde_yaml2) - [`yaml-peg`](https://crates.io/crates/yaml-peg)

GHSA-gfxp-f68g-8x78: LibYML: `libyml::string::yaml_string_extend` is unsound and unmaintained

In version 0.0.4, `libyml::string::yaml_string_extend` was revised resulting in undefined behaviour, which is unsound. The GitHub project for `libyml` was archived after unsoundness issues were raised. If you rely on this crate, it is highly recommended switching to a maintained alternative. ## Recommended alternatives - [`libyaml-safer`](https://crates.io/crates/libyaml-safer) - [`unsafe-libyaml-norway`](https://crates.io/crates/unsafe-libyaml-norway) - Maintained fork of `unsafe-libyaml`

GHSA-qj3p-xc97-xw74: MetaMask SDK indirectly exposed via malicious debug@4.4.2 dependency

### Who is affected? This advisory only applies to developers who use MetaMask SDK in the browser and who, on Sept 8th 2025 between 13:00–15:30 UTC, performed one of the following actions and then deployed their application: - Installed MetaMask SDK into a project with a lockfile for the first time - Installed MetaMask SDK in a project without a lockfile - Updated a lockfile to pull in `debug@4.4.2` (e.g., via `npm update` or `yarn upgrade`) ### What happened? On Sept 8th, 2025 (13:00–15:30 UTC), a malicious version of the `debug` package (v4.4.2) was published to npm. The injected code attempts to interfere with dApp-to-wallet communication when executed in a browser context. While MetaMask SDK itself was not directly impacted, projects installing the SDK during this window may have inadvertently pulled in the malicious version of `debug`. ### Mitigation - If your application was rebuilt and redeployed after Sept 8th, 2025, 15:30 UTC, the malicious version of debug should no longe...
