Summary
Open source software is in for a rough 2026 summer. TL;DR: High volume, LLM-powered scanning for security vulnerabilities is going to uncover lots of security issues in anything with public source code. Historically, Metabase averaged 10 submissions per month to their, most of which were trivial or not vulnerabilities. At the turn of the year, things changed. Starting in January, they've been averaging 10 submissions per week, and many of these are legit. It doesn’t take too insightful an eye to realize they're seeing a remarkable improvement in automated code scanning. While they originally thought it could be Claude Security, that was only announced in February, after things had already picked up.
