We have a separate dedicated list of open source web browsers as well. They are listed here because they are available on Linux and the article focuses on Linux. The other Top 20 lists for the months of May and June, along with other information, can be viewed by downloading Secunia's report.Non-FOSS Warning! Some applications mentioned here are not open source. These 9,225 vulnerabilities account for 1,993 vulnerable products.Ĭompared to last year, the number of vulnerabilities is down from 9,560, but Secunia observed a rise of extremely and highly critical vulnerabilities overall.īelow is the table for the Top 20 most vulnerable products in the month of July, when the Avant Browsers vulnerabilities were released.
While Avant browser may be the most vulnerable software product with 206 vulnerabilities, IBM is the company with the most vulnerable products.Īccording to Secunia's Vulnerability Report, during the three-month period of May, June, and July, over 9,225 vulnerabilities werediscovered, 2,211 of them being assigned to products that have reached the company's Top 20 Vulnerable Products list for each month. Secondly, the browser is usually updated sporadically, only a few times per year, meaning vulnerabilities for longer time spans are reported in a short window of time, around the release date. The reason for this security fiasco can be explained by two small, but very important details.įirst the Avant Browser combines the Google Chrome and Firefox rendering engines in the same browser, meaning all the vulnerabilities in those two browsers also show up in Avant. Secunia, a professional provider of IT security solutions, published its quarterly Vulnerability Report, which ranks the top 20 most vulnerable products for the months of May, June, and July 2015.Īstonishingly, according to Secunia's research, during a period of only three months, the Avant Browser managed to top the vulnerability list with 206 reported vulnerabilities.
