Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Advisory: Miscompilation in cortex-m-rt 0.7.1 and 0.7.2
You might also want to add this to https://github.com/rustsec/advisory-db so that cargo audit and Dependabot surface it.

"This type of secure-by-default functionality is why we love Go"
The behavior of not extracting outside the specified directory has been the default since forever in Rust's tar. And then it had two RUSTSEC advisories for not handling this correctly in certain corner cases. The latest one in 2021.

greater supply chain attack risk due to large dependency trees?
cargo-audit only checks for known issues reported to a vulnerability database.

`cargo audit` can now scan compiled binaries
However, I keep getting this error when running cargo audit bin ~/.cargo/bin/*, even if I replace * with a specific binary: Fetching advisory database from `https://github.com/RustSec/advisory-db.git` Loaded 467 security advisories (from C:\Users\jonah\.cargo\advisory-db) Updating crates.io index error: I/O operation failed: The system cannot find the path specified.

MIA Github Assignee on very minor PR
I usually open an issue asking if the crate is still maintained. If there isn't a response for a decent amount of time (like multiple months) and the crate is somewhat popular then it could be worth opening an unmaintained advisory in the advisory-db

RustSec Advisory Database Visualization
Here is the visualization of RustSec Advisory Database. I hope it will be helpful. If you need any more charts, feel free to comment.

Github Dependency graph adds vulnerability alerting support for Rust
FWIW the RustSec database is still not synced into the Github databse on a regular basis, even though they did an initial import of it. So the cargo audit github action is still relevant.

Please add licenses to your projects, rust DS emulator Dust now dead.
Tip: You can check the licenses of all your dependencies (recursively) using cargo-deny: https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/cargo-deny

-
Can versions of a crate be blocked / be made unusable / be made not downloadable?
cargo-deny can help block specified versions of a crate and even has some advisory features that can probably used to block crate with reported vulnerabilities
-
Best way to protect a project from supply chain attacks?
cargo deny for fetching crates only from trusted sources, blacklisting crates, etc.
-
NPM malware and what it could imply for Cargo
Use cargo audit or cargo deny to check the crates in your Cargo.lock to ensure they don't contain any vulnerabilities.

This Year in Embedded Rust: 2021 edition
> Explain the crate scanner thing?
I assume a reference to tools that help manage potential issues around dependencies, e.g.:
* https://github.com/rustsec/rustsec/tree/main/cargo-audit
* https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/cargo-deny
"[cargo-audit] Audit Cargo.lock files for crates with security vulnerabilities reported to the RustSec Advisory Database."
"cargo-deny is a cargo plugin that lets you lint your project's dependency graph to ensure all your dependencies conform to your expectations and requirements." e.g. license, security advisories, source.

Score card for dependencies in a project
cargo-deny does license and security advisory checking, and cargo-geiger does unsafe checking.
