A problem that C solves by simply not having a supply chain! You can vendor dependencies in Rust just as easily as you can in C; far easier in fact thanks to `cargo vendor`. Cargo won't review them for vulnerabilities though, you'll still have to do that yourself.

Don't use packages you didn't vibecode and audit yourself then. That's the situation C puts you in anyway.
