"Just because a piece of software is #OpenSource it does not mean the software is secure." --me

I've been saying that for years and it really bothers me to hear developers and users alike quip that because a package is open source it automatically means it's more secure than a comparable package that is closed-source.

As EricS. Raymond, one of the people behind open source, said in Linus's Law, "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow." If no one is looking, though -- as appears to be the case here — then simply because a codebase is open, it doesn't provide any safety or security at all.
