Perhaps I need a better understanding of what open source means, but how can a program that is openly publishing its code not be super vulnerable to cyber security threats. That’s like a bank publishing exactly how all it’s security works right? Obviously I’m missing something here, so ELI5!

Anyone is able to submit patches to security vulnerabilities when it’s open source, just as many or more ppl contribute to the security of the program vs the ppl looking to exploit it
