New Research Shows Secure Usage of Open Source Remains ProblematicCategory: Software, Data
This increase comes as the number of open source components in an application also grew, by close to 19% in a year. Put another way: as open source usage grows in a codebase, the number of vulnerabilities explodes.
The Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center takes the data from these audits and builds the OSSRA report to highlight trends in open source usage within commercial applications; as well as to provide insights that help development teams better understand the software ecosystem they’re a part of.
Similarly, the percentage of codebases containing high-risk open source vulnerabilities increased to 60% in 2020, a dramatic 11% increase from 2019.
Can you say with confidence that you know all the open source components used anywhere in your business?
