In this episode of AppDevANGLE, host Paul Nashawaty sits down with Steven Fluin, Vice President of Product at HeroDevs, to tackle one of the most overlooked challenges in enterprise software: the security risks of end-of-life (EOL) open source frameworks. With research showing that 86% of codebases contain vulnerabilities tied to open-source components, organizations are increasingly exposed when foundational projects like AngularJS, Apache Struts, or legacy versions of Spring fall out of upstream support. Fluin explains how HeroDevs provides commercial support and drop-in replacements for these critical but aging technologies, buying companies the time they need to modernize while maintaining compliance and security. The conversation expands beyond individual projects to the broader ecosystem, where gaps in awareness, inconsistent reporting of CVEs, and the lack of lifecycle metadata create systemic risks. Fluin shares how HeroDevs is reinvesting in open-source communities, collaborating with partners like the OpenJS Foundation, and advocating for new standards that improve software hygiene across the board. Together, Nashawaty and Fluin highlight the need for enterprises to balance modernization with responsibility, ensuring that both cutting-edge and legacy systems remain secure in a landscape where open source underpins mission-critical applications worldwide.
