GHSA-jf5h-cf95-w759: Optional `Deserialize` implementations lacking validation
When activating the non-default feature serialize
, most structs implement
serde::Deserialize
without sufficient validation. This allows breaking
invariants in safe code, leading to:
- Undefined behavior in
as_string()
methods (which usestd::str::from_utf8_unchecked()
internally). - Panics due to failed assertions.
