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!

You have a brick wall. The recipe for a brick wall is well known: bricks and mortar laid in a pattern.
You have people on both sides of the brick wall looking for cracks in the brick wall.
Some folks will try to push something through the crack that doesn’t belong, but others will be trying to patch up those cracks with new material that prevents people sticking bad things inside the wall.
