2024 Open Source Security Report: Slowing Progress and New Challenges for DevSecOps

The 2024 Open Source Security Report reveals that while open source development continues to underpin a majority of today's software, it faces persistent obstacles such as stagnant DevOps progress and growing complexity of supply chain security. Despite these challenges, there are promising shifts in how organizations approach these issues. Automated package security tools are increasingly being used, but over-reliance on them could result in critical vulnerabilities going undetected. Risk analysis methods need improvement to better identify and fix the most important vulnerabilities first. AI coding tools are trusted by developers, raising concerns about potential unbounded risks introduced into software.
