I don't think there's any point to doing this for both crates. Any dependency graph including boxlite-cli will also include boxlite, so it should be called out anyway by the tools.

I don't think this adds much value -- should be obvious from the metadata.
OCI layer symlink escape → arbitrary host write. Fixed in boxlite 0.9.0 (2026-05-03), published 2026-05-16. Filed under the post-disclosure crate-author path per CONTRIBUTING.md. Single entry on the boxlite crate; boxlite-cli inherits via dependency graph, per @djc's review feedback.

Thanks @djc — both points applied:
Applied the same two fixes pre-emptively to the companion PR #2899 (GHSA-g6ww-w5j2-r7x3) for consistency. |
