Perplexity's Bumblebee AI Scanner Hunts for Malware in Code
Perplexity has unveiled Bumblebee, a specialized tool that scans developer code for known malware. The read-only application lets teams quickly check whether their working environment and codebase are infected after new supply-chain advisories are published. Unlike competitors such as Chainguard, Bumblebee does not require invasive changes to the development process or CI/CD.

Perplexity has launched Bumblebee, an AI tool for quickly scanning developer code for known malware and vulnerabilities.
Why are supply-chain attacks dangerous for developers?
Malware gets into codebases through compromised dependencies and development tools. After each vulnerability disclosure, companies must urgently check whether they use the affected component and whether it may already be installed on developers' machines.
