Summary of Changes
Hello @jadamcrain, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request enhances the project's security posture by addressing a specific security vulnerability identified by cargo-audit. It involves configuring the audit tool to ignore a particular CVE after a thorough review determined it poses no risk to the application, thereby streamlining the security scanning process for future changes.
Highlights
- Security Vulnerability Allowlisting: A new .cargo/audit.toml file has been added to explicitly allowlist RUSTSEC-2025-0055 (CVE-2025-58160), related to ANSI escape sequence injection in tracing-subscriber. The allowlisting is justified by an analysis concluding the vulnerability is not exploitable in the current codebase due to how DNP3 protocol data is handled and logged.
- cargo-audit Configuration: The addition of .cargo/audit.toml configures the cargo-audit tool, which is implied to be integrated into the PR workflow, ensuring that this specific CVE does not block future security checks.

Code Review
This pull request adds a configuration for cargo-audit to ignore a vulnerability in tracing-subscriber. While the reasoning for ignoring it is well-documented, there's a critical error in the vulnerability identifiers (both CVE and RUSTSEC ID) which will cause this configuration to not work as intended. I've provided a correction for this. I also added a minor suggestion for file formatting.
