Global Open-Source Project 'Security Vulnerability' Keyword Density
This statistic tracks the average density of security vulnerability-related keywords within the public documentation of global open-source projects. We analyse a broad range of project repositories, focusing on their READMEs, wikis, and official documentation pages.
The presence and frequency of these keywords offer a unique insight into a project's proactive approach to security. It helps gauge the level of self-awareness and transparency regarding potential weaknesses, moving beyond formal vulnerability databases to understand the 'chatter' within the project itself.
By quantifying this discourse, we can identify projects that are more explicitly engaging with security concerns in their public-facing materials, potentially indicating a stronger security-conscious culture.
