Sure, open source isn't perfect. No software of any reasonable size is. Anyone claiming otherwise is an idiot and should be ignored. And yeah sure, heartbleed vuln existed for 2 years before discovery. But don't forget the NSA held onto the EternalBlue vuln for over 5 years before the shadowbrokers leaked their tools.
