Homebrew 7.0.0 gets built-in GUI, better security controls
Homebrew 7.0.0 adds a built-in vulnerability scanner (brew vulns), a Homebrew advisory database, stronger sandboxing, and the BrewUI GUI.
Homebrew 7.0.0 ships a native BrewUI graphical interface for macOS 26 Tahoe and later, plus a new 'brew vulns' command that queries OSV.dev in batch to flag vulnerabilities in installed formulae, specific packages, or Brewfile dependencies. The release also introduces a Homebrew-specific OSV-format advisory database distinguishing outstanding vulnerabilities from backported fixes. Sandbox improvements block home directory access by default and separate network-enabled dependency downloads from offline installs.
