When relying on a 3rd-party package from a non-commercial entity, there is always the risk of lack of support, especially when it comes to outdated packages and versions. If the package stops being maintained, nobody will implement a new feature we might need or fix a newly-discovered security vulnerability. Consider, for example, CVE-2019-17571. A critical remote code vulnerability which was never fixed in Log4j 1.x, since it was not supported anymore, and only fixed in Log4j 2.x.

Many modern businesses in almost every sector of the economy are adopting the latest technologies for greater connectivity and efficiency.

Online projects could be easy prey for cybercriminals due to the involvement of critical security information (emails, different platforms' login passwords, bank accounts, etc.) and multiple people. A simple phishing email requesting new login credentials or bank account details could be effective on negligent team members and could put everybody at risk. In other words, any breach of information by a project team member could lead to a disaster for the parties involved.
