What a Decade of Open Source Vulnerability Data Tells Us ...
CVEs grew sixfold in a decade. Here is what a decade of open source vulnerability trends reveals about ecosystem maturity, from Log4Shell to the xz backdoor.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

Most CVEs in your stack aren't in packages you chose — they're transitive. Here's why direct vs transitive vulnerabilities need different fixes and different priority.
npm, PyPI, RubyGems, Go, and Cargo each made different design bets on install scripts, namespacing, and signing — and those bets directly shape supply chain attack surface.
Open source runs on unpaid labor while billion-dollar companies use it for free. Here's the economics behind Log4Shell, xz-utils, and the free rider problem.
Three years after Log4Shell, Log4j is still found in production systems. Here is what the industry fixed, what it didn't, and why the risk persists.
Copy-pasted code from Stack Overflow and AI chats often ships with hidden vulnerabilities. Here's the data behind the risk, real breaches it caused, and how to catch it.
Bug bounties didn't catch Log4Shell or the XZ Utils backdoor. An independent look at what OSS bounty programs actually cover — and where they structurally fall short.
AI coding assistants regularly invent package names that don't exist — and attackers are registering them first. Here's how slopsquatting works and how to defend against it.
Real typosquatting campaigns follow a repeatable playbook: target selection, edit-distance tricks, and install-time payloads. Here's how attackers actually pick their targets.
