highReviewed the package manifest for install-time execution, build hooks, hidden subprocesses, network/exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, and persistence. The file is a conventional Rust library Cargo manifest with a single benign build script gate for the `read_buf` feature and standard dependency/feature metadata; I found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators in the target file. Reviewed `src/verify.rs`, which defines TLS certificate-verification marker types and verifier traits plus a small `DigitallySignedStruct` codec. I checked for install-time execution, network/exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, persistence, and hidden subprocess behavior, and found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators in this file. Reviewed `src/msgs/base.rs`, which defines length-prefixed payload and certificate codec helpers plus hex debugging for rustls message types. I found no concrete indicators of install hooks, network/exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, persistence, or other hidden payload execution in this file. `src/verifybench.rs` is a benchmark-only Rust harness that constructs `WebPkiServerVerifier` instances, loads embedded certificate-chain test data with `include_bytes!`, and repeatedly runs certificate verification against a fixed timestamp. I checked it for install-time hooks, network or exfiltration behavior, credential/secret access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, and persistence tampering, and found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators in this file. Reviewed the target README.md, which is a project overview for rustls with documentation links, platform/provider notes, usage examples, licensing, and maintainer information. I checked for install hooks, hidden execution, network exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, persistence, and other supply-chain indicators, and found no concrete malicious or suspicious behavior in this file.
