An analysis by Lineaje reveals that 95% of security issues involve open-source dependencies, with 51% lacking any known fixes. A significant concern.
The report highlights that 90% of modern applications use open-source components, averaging around 70% of an application’s code, raising substantial security vulnerabilities.
Lineaje CEO Javed Hasan notes that older code, despite being less frequently updated, is ironically more secure than well-maintained components, which introduce more vulnerabilities.
The analysis also underscores the risks associated with team sizes: small and large teams contribute more risky code compared to mid-sized teams, posing further security challenges.
