Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for rust-tracing-subscriber.

CVE-2025-58160[0]:
| tracing is a framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect
| structured, event-based diagnostic information. Prior to version
| 0.3.20, tracing-subscriber was vulnerable to ANSI escape sequence
| injection attacks. Untrusted user input containing ANSI escape
| sequences could be injected into terminal output when logged,
| potentially allowing attackers to manipulate terminal title bars,
| clear screens or modify terminal display, and potentially mislead
| users through terminal manipulation. tracing-subscriber version
| 0.3.20 fixes this vulnerability by escaping ANSI control characters
| when writing events to destinations that may be printed to the
| terminal. A workaround involves avoiding printing logs to terminal
| emulators without escaping ANSI control sequences.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
