The ODS and XLSB readers parse untrusted package metadata and content through
`quick_xml::NsReader`. In 0.38.4 that is RUSTSEC-2026-0195 (CVSS 7.5): the namespace
resolver pushes a binding for every `xmlns` / `xmlns:*` declaration on a start tag, with
no cap on how many there are, and `NsReader::read_event` reaches that path - not only
`read_resolved_event`.
None of our caps bound it. MAX_PART (512 MiB), MAX_TOTAL (1 GiB), MAX_ENTRIES,
MAX_CELLS, MAX_TEXT and MAX_DEPTH bound part size, entry count, cells, text and nesting,
never declarations per tag.
Measured with `gridcraft-cli info` on crafted .ods files, before this change:
754 B, 0 declarations -> 8.6 MB, exit 0
24 KB, 1,000,000 -> 52.6 MB, exit 0
187 KB, 8,000,000 -> 367.8 MB, exit 0
770 KB, 33,000,000 -> 1.46 GB, exit 0
About 45 bytes of resident memory per declaration, roughly 1,900x the file size, and no
error at all. At MAX_PART a ~1 MB file reaches ~1.9 GB, and every part is held in memory
while the package is read. Both readers share the path, so a downloaded .ods or .xlsb
was enough. Nothing panicked, so `Session::execute` never saw it.
0.41.0 caps declarations per start tag at 256 (DEFAULT_MAX_DECLARATIONS_PER_ELEMENT,
raisable through NamespaceResolver::set_max_declarations_per_element) and returns
`NamespaceError::TooManyDeclarations` beyond it. The same fixtures after:
754 B -> 8.6 MB, ok 24 KB -> 19 MB, error
187 KB -> 101.8 MB, error 770 KB -> 397 MB, error
with "start tag declares more than 256 namespace bindings". The residual peak is the
part itself: MAX_PART still lets one part decompress to 256 MiB, the existing intended
bound.
API changes for 0.41 (0.x bumps may break; all four are in the xlsx crate):
- `resolve_element` and `resolve_attribute` moved off `NsReader` on to the resolver:
`reader.resolver_mut().resolve_element(..)`. `attr` and `tag` in ods.rs take
`&mut NsReader` for that.
- `Attribute::unescape_value` is deprecated in favour of `normalized_value`, which also
applies the attribute-value normalization the XML specification requires.
- `BytesText::xml_content` now takes the document's XML version.
This also clears RUSTSEC-2026-0194, the quadratic duplicate-attribute check. xml.rs
already passed `with_checks(false)`, but ods.rs and xlsb.rs used the checked iterator, so
they were on the quadratic path as well.
Regression test: `ods_tests::ods_namespace_declaration_bomb_is_rejected` asserts that a
tag with thousands of declarations is an error and that a document with a handful still
reads. It fails on 0.38.4 (the tag is accepted) and passes on 0.41.0.
Verified: `cargo xtask ci`; the full xlsx suite (80 tests) plus the malformed-input
tests; and the four measurements above, before and after, with no panics either way.
Add an interface-language preference. It defaults to the system's
language on first run (sys-locale, native only) and is switched by hand
from the View tab, next to Dark Mode, or with app.language.english /
app.language.japanese over the control channel. It is saved in ui.json.
Follows the filmcraft house convention: a Language enum and a
table of English-to-Japanese strings with English fallback, so coverage
can grow incrementally. Japanese chrome renders without any bundled
font: the CJK fallback faces already appended to every family cover
kana and kanji.
The ribbon chrome all flows through the small_button/big_button/
toggle_button/split_button/icon_button helpers and menu_items, so
translating there localises the whole ribbon in one place; the language
of the frame is read from egui context data (i18n::current). Command
ids, file names and document text are never translated.
- ui-egui: title bar with QAT, full ribbon (Home/Insert/Draw/Page Layout/Formulas/Data/
Review/View/Automate + Table/Chart Design), formula bar with Name Box, virtualised grid
(frozen panes, overflow, borders, CF data bars/scales/icons, tables, sparklines, filter
buttons, charts/pictures/shapes), in-cell editor with point mode, reference colouring,
autocomplete and argument hints, sheet tabs, status bar, dialogs, control channel
- apps/sheetcraft: desktop app (control server, file dialogs, prefs, drag & drop)
- chart: toolkit-free chart layout/rendering for 25 chart kinds + sparklines + rasteriser
- mcp + sheetcraft-cli: MCP server (headless or bridged) and CLI (info/convert/eval/cat/run/mcp)
- xtask (ci/layers/assets/wasm/version/parity), release workflows, packaging, placeholder icon
- automatic row heights
