Are there any working groups or teams in the rust foundation[0] looking into stuff like this? I know every package manager has these issues but there's no technical reason preventing us from building sandboxes (i.e. WASM, deno, ...) for this and making it a first class citizen of cargo/rustup/etc.

Just installing a relatively popular crate (say Hyper) makes you realize that all of your secret could have been stolen by any of the myriad of dependencies.

Well, the topic has come up on the internals forum from time to time, e.g.:

I don’t think there’s an active working group though.
