Is your software supply chain exposing you to hidden risks?

Why third-party flaws are the hardest to resolve.

We talk a lot about the code your team writes, but what about the code they borrow? One of the stickiest findings in the 2026 State of Software Security (SoSS) report revolves around the software supply chain. The data shows that third-party components are a primary source of critical, long-lived security debt. Figure 8 visualizes this risk. While third-party code only contributes to 9% of all security debt, it’s responsible for 66% of CRITICAL security debt.     You effectively inherit risk that you didn’t create, and without automated dependency management, it becomes a permanent part of your backlog.         Don’t let third-party code become your blind spot.       Read the 2026 SoSS Report     Learn how Veracode Software Composition Analysis (SCA) gives you visibility into your open-source usage and automates your defense.       Learn More About Veracode SCA       36 Queen Street London, EC4R 1BN United Kingdom     emea@veracode.com      +44 (0)20 3761 5501 © 2026 Veracode Inc.
