Supported file formats

For Rust with Snyk Code, the following file formats are supported: .rs.

Available features

• Support for Interfile analysis

• Reports

Rust for Snyk Open Source

Supported package managers and registries

For Rust with Snyk Open Source, the following are supported:

• Supported package registry: crates.io

• Supported files: CycloneDX and SPDX SBOMs

Available features

• Test your SBOM containing cargo PURLs using the SBOM test command or API.

• Test your individual Rust packages using the List issues for a package API.

SCM import and the standard CLI commands snyk test, snyk monitor are not available.

Open Source scanning of Rust manifests and dependencies is limited to testing using the CLI command snyk sbom test, or through the Snyk API, using either SBOM testing or individual package testing. API access is available only with Ignite or Enterprise plans.

Scan Rust dependencies in bulk using the CLI

To do this:

• Use a third party tool to create a SBOM document from the Cargo.toml and cargo.lock file, in one of the supported SBOM formats.

• Use snyk sbom test --file=<path to your SBOM> to scan the SBOM document.

Alternatively, you can use the REST API, as follows:

• Use the REST API to POST the SBOM document to the sbom_tests endpoint.

• Retrieve the results by calling the sbom_tests/{job_id} endpoint. For more information, visit SBOM and Test an SBOM document for vulnerabilities.

Scan Rust dependencies individually using the API

To test your individual Rust packages from the Cargo package manager, you can use the List issues for a package API. You can obtain the PURL from the metadata section of the package on crates.io and it must adhere to the purl specification.

Before using it in the API, ensure you URL encode it. For example, pkg:cargo/[email protected] becomes pkg%3Acargo%2Fsd%400.1.0

This reports only the direct vulnerabilities for that package. For more information, visit List issues for a package.

Gating commits and PRs

To avoid introducing vulnerabilities on commits and PRs, Snyk recommends incorporating the above testing into your CI/CD pipeline.
