Doing so would be extremely slow and could create more security issues than it solves. So developers draw on existing libraries—often open source projects—to get various basic software components in place.
While this approach is efficient, it can create exposure and lack of visibility into software. Increasingly, however, the rise of vibe coding is being used in a similar way, allowing developers to quickly spin up code that they can simply adapt rather than writing from scratch. Security researchers warn,
