AI coding tools are making open source software harder to maintain and secure. The tools write code and find security flaws quickly, but the maintainers who decide what enters a project’s official release still have to judge that output themselves. This burden reaches anyone who runs software, as open source code sits inside phones, cars, cloud systems, and AI platforms.

This burden reaches anyone who runs software, as open source code sits inside phones, cars, cloud systems, and AI platforms.
Most open source projects accept outside contributions, and they typically keep a vetted group of trusted contributors who decide what gets committed, meaning accepted into the official codebase.
AI has made writing and submitting code easy, and some of what arrives is poor.

The authors of the report are concerned that the increasing use of AI coding tools is making it harder for open source projects to maintain and secure their software. This is a problem because most open source projects lack reliable revenue, and deferred maintenance on those projects can leave security holes in the software built on them. The authors also note that a growing number of attackers are planting malicious packages and code in popular repositories.

The report highlights the need for open source projects to put more resources into documentation, packaging, fundraising, and gathering requirements.
It also emphasizes the importance of learning the governance, maintenance, and security state of software to spot critical dependencies before something fails.

The report notes that a software bill of materials, or SBOM, is a machine-readable list of the components inside an application.
Despite US and EU mandates, the vast majority of open source applications do not generate or ship one.
An SBOM would show what is present, not whether each piece is maintained, funded, secure or abandoned.
