The Spring team at Broadcom saw reports jump from 7/month historically to 112 in April 2024, plus 370 from internal AI scans. While AI excels at finding vulnerabilities and generating proof-of-concept exploits, human engineers still write and validate every patch to avoid regressions. First-party maintainers have a structural advantage: they receive vulnerability reports before public disclosure, build patches privately, and understand the long-term roadmap. In response, the Spring team is rebuilding its release process to ship coordinated updates across 60+ projects in a single day instead of two weeks. The broader takeaway is that enterprises should evaluate not just which open source projects to use, but who maintains them and how quickly they can respond to emerging threats. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
