serde — deep security report

ShadowCanopy's full breakdown of serde on crates.io: verdict, AI analysis, dependency chain, network behavior, prebuilds, and obfuscated code.

All findings are false positives. 'D::' and 'E::A' are Rust generic parameters and enum variant syntax in documentation/examples. '101.102.103.104' is a length-check constant inside a debug_assert_eq! for IPv4 string formatting in the legitimate Serialize impl for net::Ipv4Addr. This is the real serde 1.0.229 crate with ordinary, benign code.

AI breakdown

Plain-English summary of what this package does and how it behaves.

serde 1.0.229 is the core Rust serialization/deserialization framework providing Serialize and Deserialize traits along with implementations for common types.

Capabilities

  • Serializes and deserializes Rust data structures
  • Provides derive macros and core traits
  • Includes build.rs for crate configuration

Data access

  • None observed

Network

  • No network access observed

Widely used, dependency-free library with no scripts or network behavior in manifest or sampled files; repeated static findings on hardcoded IPs are not evidenced in the provided file list.

Security findings (6)

Static analysis rule matches, with the exact code that triggered them.

How ShadowCanopy checks crates.io packages

ShadowCanopy blocks every dependency by default and only lets through what it can verify — against live malicious-package advisories, an AI behavior scan, and a byte-for-byte hash check. It protects installs across npm, PyPI, crates.io, pkg.go.dev, RubyGems, Maven Central, NuGet, Packagist, Hex, pub.dev, Swift Package Manager.
