Is Hidden Open Source Code Putting Your Apps at Risk?

LinuxSecurity.com: The most overlooked open source security vulnerabilities, according to Palamida researchers, occur in Apache Geronimo, JBoss Application Server, Libtiff, Net-SNMP and ZLIB. "The most popular projects appear in every test. This always surprises companies. There is from three to 10 times the use of open source code [in software enterprise uses] than companies realize," said Theresa Bui-Friday, cofounder of Palamida. I believe that open source code is more secure because more people are identifying and patching any vulnerabilities found in the code. What do you think?
