Definition
Open source security encompasses vulnerability discovery, responsible disclosure, and maintenance practices for publicly available software projects. Includes bug-bounty programs, CVE tracking, and maintainer burnout from low-quality reports.
Key Points
- Major projects (curl, google-oss-vrp) have suspended or restricted bounty programs due to ai-era-bug-bounty-noise — AI-generated false positives overwhelming maintainers
- responsible-disclosure norms balance public safety with maintainer capacity
- Supply-chain risk when widely depended-upon libraries have unfixed CVEs
