## What it is
cve-rs is a joke/educational Rust crate that reproduces classic memory vulnerabilities (use-after-free, buffer overflow, segfault) using only safe Rust, exploiting known compiler soundness holes. It also provides safe-code reimplementations of std::mem::transmute and null references.

## Use cases
- demonstrate Rust soundness bugs in safe code
- test whether a Rust toolchain or linter catches memory unsafety without unsafe blocks
- reproduce segfaults and buffer overflows in a memory-safe Rust program
- teach memory safety concepts with real crashing examples
- reimplement transmute without unsafe
- run memory-unsafe behavior in WASM from safe Rust

## When to choose
- you want to demo or test Rust compiler soundness holes
- you need a deliberately crashing safe-Rust program for education or CI fuzzing of tools
- you want a novelty example of memory corruption without unsafe code

## When to avoid
- you need real security tooling or vulnerability scanning
- you want stable, production-ready dependencies
- you expect actual CVEs or exploit primitives for penetration testing

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: security, testing, developer-tools
- domain: security, programming-languages, developer-tools, testing
- platform: rust, cross-platform, wasm, cli
- tags: memory-safety, soundness, rust, segfault, use-after-free, buffer-overflow, novelty, educational
