Firms mostly rely on open-source software (OSS), using third-party and open-source libraries and components. These apps boost the speed and lower development costs. But, firms find it challenging to handle the risks and vulnerabilities associated with OSS.
If these open-source components contain exploitable vulnerabilities or malicious functionality, they can expose the firm's applications to attack. Hence, OSS security is vital in managing the risks that open-source code poses to applications, data, and systems.
Software's source code, once put in the public domain, can be accessed by anyone. But cyber attackers can also access the code to look for security gaps.
Nonetheless, one of the main OSS security risks is that when vulnerabilities are identified, they can be publicized by the open-source community. While these vulnerabilities are made public, they can be exploited even before they are fixed.
Open-source components do not have built-in controls to prevent the use of multiple or incompatible versions. They typically rely on the user to verify proper use.
Developers may likely abandon packages that a firm's systems rely on. This increases the potential for unpatched vulnerabilities. There is also a possibility that the code may lack necessary security mechanisms like updated cryptography.
Hackers target software supply chain security by taking advantage of companies' reliance on open-source code.
Attackers can trick developers into introducing vulnerabilities or malicious functionality into their apps by building malicious lookalike libraries or infecting trusted ones with malicious code.
That is not strange at all, that the majority of those, who are deeply interested in the contribution into that really interesting and potentially successful environment are looking for the opportunities to do so.
For instance, nowadays, we could see a rapid increase in the number of open source applications upon different platforms.
So, making a long story short, an open source software is a software, which makes it possible for a user to view, copy and edit the code.
For instance, one of the most popular and famous proprietary softwares could be called Windows, Apple, WinRAR or App Store.
It erected, when different groups of programmers came up with an idea, that it seems to be impossible any more to follow the old traditions of the pioneers of that business, and there is a great need in a more open and free market.
There are several pretty important points, which give us an opportunity to say, that the open source softwares are one of the best modern decisions for the whole world of cyber industry.

Open source software is the public code anyone can see and change.
Software developers can use “source code” to alter how the application works.
If someone has access to the source code of a program, they can change how the software functions overall.
Open source software is for anyone to use, change, or share.
It can encourage collaboration and learning within the software industry.
Open source code is not typically very specific, allowing people to use it for a broad range of projects without needing to spend unnecessary time writing code that has already been written.
