Hot take: free and open source is fundamentally incompatible with strong security *guarantees*, because FOSS is incompatible with strong guarantees about anything. It says so right there on the tin: "without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied". We guarantee nothing by default, you get the code, the project, everything, as-is, where-is, how-is.

Of course companies find this inconvenient, especially with the EU CRA looming, but that's not FOSS's problem. That's a you problem.
