Summary
`Keys::next()` uses `ptr::read` to move out the `Option<V>` by value, which drops the contained `V` when `V` is non-Copy (e.g. `String`). This leaves a dangling value in the map's storage slot. Subsequent `get()` operations on that key return a dangling reference to already-freed memory.
This can be triggered through safe public APIs — `Map::keys()`, `Keys::next()`, and `Map::get()` — with no `unsafe` required from the caller. Under Miri, accessing the freed slot produces "Undefined Behavior: pointer not dereferenceable: alloc has been freed, so this pointer is dangling".

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
