As of January 2020, it&#8217;s helped find <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/google\/oss-fuzz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">16,000 bugs in 250 open-source projects<\/a>.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>WhiteSource found that 85% of open-source vulnerabilities are disclosed and have a fix already available. However, it notes that some users are not aware of these fixes because only 84% of known open-source bugs make it to the National Vulnerability Database (NVD).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Information about vulnerabilities is not published in one centralized location, rather scattered across hundreds of resources, and sometimes poorly indexed \u2013 often making searching for specific data a challenge,&#8221; it notes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WhiteSource last year brought its vulnerability database to GitHub to support its security-alerts service. GitHub scans project dependencies for vulnerabilities in projects written in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/github-security-alerts-now-support-php-projects\/\">PHP, Java, Python, .NET, JavaScript and Ruby<\/a>. It&#8217;s helped developers find and fix <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/github-will-now-let-you-back-your-favourite-open-source-developers\/\">millions of known flaws<\/a> in dependencies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the Microsoft code-sharing site, which can issues its own CVEs, also launched a program <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/github-launches-security-lab-to-help-secure-open-source-ecosystem\/\">called Security Lab to help developers find and fix bugs<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Despite lauding GitHub&#8217;s effort, WhiteSource points out that developers could be inundated by the higher volume of bugs being found.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our concern is that, while these tools will help to report vulnerability issues in a proper manner, they will probably only aggravate the issue with software developers who are already struggling to keep up with the increased rate,&#8221; WhiteSource notes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WhiteSource also looked at the share of vulnerabilities found across top programming languages. The highest share of vulnerable code was written in C with a 30% share, which was down from 47% a decade ago. The company notes that C&#8217;s high percentage is likely to be because there&#8217;s so much code written in it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Code written in PHP on the other hand was responsible for 27% of security bugs, up from 15% 10 years ago, despite PHP becoming less popular among developers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By contrast Python code was only responsible for 5% of bugs, down from 6% 10 years ago.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The most common types of security flaws in 2019 were cross-site scripting, improper input validation, buffer errors, out-of-bounds reads, and information exposure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cross-site scripting bugs were the most common type of vulnerability for Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, and Ruby. For C, a memory-unsafe language, it was &#8220;improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer&#8221;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img aspect-set\"><img decoding=\"async\"
