"I'm always suspicious when I see press releases and studies
that claim that somehow open source software is less secure than
other forms of software. That's why I was particularly suspicious
of a new study out today sponsored by Apache Maven sponsor
Sonatype, claiming that there is widespread use of insecure open
source components.
According to the study:
There were more than 46 million downloads of insecure versions
of the 31 most popular open-source security libraries and web
frameworks.
