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.

-
Rust from a security perspective, where is it vulnerable?
You could check cargo-fuzz trophy case, which is a list of issues that have been found via fuzzing.
-
capnproto-rust: out-of-bound memory access bug
I've added it to the trophy case.
-
[LWN] A pair of Rust kernel modules
That said, what's present in what quantities under what circumstances in the Rust fuzzing trophy case does a pretty good job of illustrating how effective the Rust compiler is at ruling out entire classes of bugs.
-
Looking for simple rust programs to crash
The same fuzzing techniques applied to Rust yielded a lot of bugs as well. But in Rust's case only 7 out of 340 fuzzer-discovered bugs, or 2%, were memory corruption issues. Naturally, all of the memory corruption bugs were in unsafe code.

Everything Is Broken: Shipping rust-minidump at Mozilla, Part 1
https://github.com/rust-fuzz/trophy-case has like 70 of my issues in it, including the nine minidump bugs
-
Fuzzcheck (a structure-aware Rust fuzzer)
If you have found any bugs with this tool, perhaps add them to the Rust fuzz trophy case?
-
Rust is more portable than C for pngquant/libimagequant
Source: https://github.com/rust-fuzz/trophy-case (over 40 of those are just from me).
-
Rust takes a major step forward as Linux's second official language
But to bring some data, check out the fuzz trophy case. It shows that failures in Rust are most often assertions/panics (equivalent to C++ exception) with memory corruption being relatively rare (it's not never—Rust isn't promising magic—but it's a significant change).

Shouldn't have happened: A vulnerability postmortem
You need to read the list more carefully.
• The list is not for Rust itself, but every program every written in Rust. By itself it doesn't mean much, unless you compare prevalence of issues among Rust programs to prevalence of issues among C programs. For some context, see how memory unsafety is rare compared to assertions and uncaught exceptions: https://github.com/rust-fuzz/trophy-case
• Many of the memory-unsafety issues are on the C FFI boundary, which is unsafe due to C lacking expressiveness about memory ownership of its APIs (i.e. it shows how dangerous is to program where you don't have the Rust borrow checker checking your code).
• Many bugs about missing Send/Sync or evil trait implementations are about type-system loopholes that prevented compiler from catching code that was already buggy. C doesn't have these guarantees in the first place, so lack of them is not a CVE for C, but just how C is designed.

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.
