Security Vulnerability on Open Source Software’s

As society increases its dependency on software, software developers increasingly rely on open source to ship new products quickly. Open source makes up 90% of modern software, with consumption reaching a staggering 6.6 trillion downloads in 2024. Software supply chain security has become a major target for bad actors, with open source malware, or malicious packages living in open source repositories, surging 156% in 2024. Bad actors often target third-party vendors as a gateway into larger organizations, proverbially killing several birds with one stone. Recent high-profile incidents show that their methods are becoming more sophisticated. The risk of being the weakest link far outweighs the compliance challenges, as protecting partners from costly cybersecurity incidents, compliance failures, and reputational damage safeguards a company’s long-term resilience and, ultimately, its bottom line.
