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.

Rust Tooling: 8 tools that will increase your productivity
cargo-audit is a simple Cargo tool for detecting vulnerable Rust crates. You can install it with cargo install cargo-audit, use cargo audit and you’re done! Any vulnerable crates will appear below, like so:
-
Rust Offline?
Further we use cargo-auditable and cargo-audit as part of both our pipeline and regular scanning of all deployed services. This makes our InfoSec and Legal super happy since it means they can also monitor compliance with licenses and patch/update timings.
-
Sudo and Su Being Rewritten in Rust for Memory Safety
Yeah your decade old single header libs get so many audits by comparison.
https://github.com/RustSec/rustsec/tree/main/cargo-audit
https://mozilla.github.io/cargo-vet/
cargo is not npm
-
A CVE has been issued for hyper. Denial of Service possible
PSA: before filing CVEs for other people's projects, file an issue with https://rustsec.org instead
-
Should atomics be unsafe?
Historically, such serious bugs get communicated broadly and addressed very quickly via security advisory blog posts and on https://rustsec.org.
-
Rust from a security perspective, where is it vulnerable?
For known vulnerabilities we have the rustsec vulnerability database. You could have a look over there for inspiration. There's also the related cargo-audit for checking dependencies for known vulnerabilities.
-
capnproto-rust: out-of-bound memory access bug
Would be cool if this was also reported to https://rustsec.org/ that way cargo audit could pick up and alert the users about it.
-
`cargo audit` can now scan compiled binaries
P.S. I also made scanning binaries 5x faster in the latest release of cargo audit.
-
My Rust development workflow (after 3+ years)
Thanks to cargo and the community, project maintenance is straightforward in rust. You'll need to install cargo-outdated and cargo-audit:
-
Mental models for learning Rust
Use the automated tools to assist you in the maintenance of your projects: rustfmt, clippy, cargo update, cargo outdated and cargo-audit.
