Perplexity open-sources Bumblebee security scanner

Perplexity open-sourced Bumblebee, a read-only security scanner for macOS and Linux.

Bumblebee inspects local developer metadata to flag risky dependencies, browser/editor extensions, and AI-related configurations.

The tool helps security teams quickly identify affected developer endpoints during supply-chain incidents.

Perplexity also released an internal supply-chain response tool to speed incident response.
