AetherScope V2.2.1 is presented as a Rust-based security analysis and software-engineering environment combining a static application security testing (SAST) scanner, a 2D/3D WebGL code-architecture viewer, and an MCP server for AI coding tools such as Claude, Cursor, and Antigravity. Its documentation advertises more than 185 vulnerability patterns and CWE rules, real-time analysis, bug-bounty support, and cryptographic project governance using EARS contracts and BLAKE3. The interactive “cockpit” visualizes code relationships as a spatial graph, while an AI agent can navigate to code locations and manage tasks through the project workspace.
Version 2.2.1 adds support for Zig and C#/.NET, including language-specific scanning and rules for issues such as memory errors, injection, insecure authentication, and weak cryptography. It also bundles 22 Semgrep community rules for offline use, supports importing or updating rule sets, and highlights SSA-based dataflow and reachable software-composition analysis. A new Obsidian mode parses notes, links, tags, embeds, and backlinks, with separate views for code projects, note vaults, or mixed repositories. Its path-confinement safeguards reject traversal attempts and paths escaping the target directory. The project offers a local CLI/API, MCP integration, and a downloadable Windows build; its listed license is non-commercial.

Wyndham’s Android app contained a password that gave access to an internal database holding customer details, login tokens, and company files. Wyndham revoked the credential after a researcher reported it, but the company has not said how many records were exposed or whether customers will be notified. (techcrunch.com)
Seven months into Project Glasswing, Anthropic has logged 37,966 security findings but made only 217 fixes, while adding nearly 12,000 findings and just 15 fixes since September. Maintainers are also disputing many scanner reports, raising questions about the project’s claimed accuracy and the burden placed on open-source teams. (vulncheck.com)
rVPN is an open-source VPN protocol that disguises encrypted traffic as ordinary HTTPS to work around VPN blocking. It uses a Rust core, rotating encryption keys, and probe-resistant decoy responses, with code and builds available for verification. (rvpn.org)
