"Surge in High-Risk Open-Source Vulnerabilities Found in Commercial Codebases"

A new report from Synopsys reveals an alarming increase in high-risk vulnerabilities in commercial codebases, raising the risk of hacking and data theft. Although the percentage of codebases with at least one open-source vulnerability remained consistent year-over-year at 84 percent, significantly more codebases had high-risk vulnerabilities in 2023. The percentage of codebases with high-risk open-source vulnerabilities increased from 48 percent in 2022 to 74 percent in 2023. The surge has been attributed to variables such as economic instability and the resulting layoffs of technology employees. These variables lead to a reduction in resources, including staff who are needed to patch vulnerabilities. This article continues to discuss the increase in high-risk open-source vulnerabilities in commercial codebases.
