Not discrediting Open Source Software, but nothing is 100% safe.

Except when people pull off shit like Heartbleed.

See my comment below for more of my thoughts on why I think heartbleed was an overwhelming success.

And you help make my point because openssl is a dependency which is easily discovered by software like dependabot and renovate. So when the next heartbleed happens, we can spread the fixes even more quickly.

Enterprise software inventory can unfortunately be quite chaotic, and understanding the exposure to this kind of vulnerability can take weeks if not longer.
