The 2021 State of Open Source Vulnerabilities

Open source is everywhere. It comprises around 90% of the components of modern applications, and is used by developers across a wide range of industries. Unfortunately, as open source usage has increased, so too have vulnerabilities within open source code.

In this report, we’ll take an in-depth look at today’s open source vulnerability landscape, including areas like:

  • Common vulnerabilities
  • The distribution of vulnerabilities across popular languages
  • Longitudinal trends in vulnerabilities over several years
  • The most prevalent CWEs in each language
  • Libraries with the most vulnerabilities
  • Best practices to keep your organization’s software free of vulnerabilities
