People often claim that open source is more secure, which is implied in this release. But the CodeCov breach that leaked any secrets provided to CI/CD pipelines [1] was done via a bash script available to anyone to read the code. The breach wasn't complex at all. It was just that nobody noticed for a long time that the bash uploader script sent all secrets to a random IP address.

It makes me wonder what the benefit really is to being open source. Is it just marketing?
