serde v1.0.172
and later include pre-compiled binaries which is a security hazard. So until the decision gets reverted, I believe it's worth to pin upper version ofserde
. This approach may cause issues if a different crate in someone's dependency tree will depend on a post-1.0.172 version ofserde
, but I think this issue is small enough when compared to the security concerns. Also, a number of other crates in the ecosystem follow this approach, so we are not alone.tai64
depends onserde
, but does not use thederive
feature, so pinning is not needed there.serdect
usesderive
only for dev builds, but I've pinned the version just in case.More information and discussion about the

change can be found in serde-rs/serde#2538.
