CVE-2024-36400: Unable to generate the correct character set

June 4, 2024 (updated June 17, 2024)

Affected versions of the nano-id crate incorrectly generated IDs using a reduced character set in the nano_id::base62 and nano_id::base58 functions. Specifically, the base62 function used a character set of 32 symbols instead of the intended 62 symbols, and the base58 function used a character set of 16 symbols instead of the intended 58 symbols. Additionally, the nano_id::gen macro is also affected when a custom character set that is not a power of 2 in size is specified.

It should be noted that nano_id::base64 is not affected by this vulnerability.
