The average software application depends on more than 500 open source libraries and components. The number of components in the average application rose 77% over two years. 84% of applications have at least one vulnerability, up from 60% two years ago. Many of the open source projects in use have not been updated or patched in the last two years, Synopsys says. Of the top-10 high-risk vulnerabilities found in open source components, only two are from 2020, according to the report.”]
