UnverifiedVendor lock-in is one of the most frequently cited risks of the closed-source path; when a startup's core functionality is deeply coupled to a closed-source API, a vendor's adjustment of pricing or discontinuation of service leaves the company without a low-cost migration path.73% similarUnverifiedSecurity vulnerabilities targeting package management platforms can propagate downstream to thousands of projects along the dependency chain.73% similarUnverifiedOpen-source public infrastructure refers to open-source projects that are widely relied upon but are often maintained by a small number of volunteers or a small team, such as OpenSSL, cURL, log4j, and others.71% similarUnverifiedThe impact of software supply chain attacks propagates along the dependency chain, affecting a large number of downstream projects.71% similarUnverifiedOpen-source projects are often maintained by the community with limited security investment, while online platforms must handle user credentials, which constitutes a natural risk point.71% similar
