Discourse is Not Going Closed Source

Discourse reaffirms its commitment to open source despite industry concerns that AI tools are accelerating vulnerability discovery in public codebases. The post argues that closing source code is not a sustainable security solution, as AI can still find exploits without access to source. Discourse highlights its use of AI tools to proactively identify and patch security issues in its own open-source platform.

Background

Recent AI advancements have enabled rapid automated code analysis, leading some SaaS companies like Cal.com to close their source code over security fears. Discourse is a popular open-source discussion platform founded over a decade ago.
