Perplexity open-sources Bumblebee, an AI scanner to protect developer code

Perplexity has open-sourced Bumblebee, a dependency scanner for developer systems running macOS and Linux. It analyzes npm, PyPI and Go modules, MCP configs, and browser and editor extensions, but it does not run any code and does not invoke package managers. That lets it surface potential vulnerabilities in the dependency chain without putting developer systems at risk.
