Ah, the old concept of binary security - either you want it or not. It doesn't work like that, security is one need to be balanced against others.

Also, lots of CVEs indicate only one thing: that lots of people are checking it.

Also that it has lots of vulnerabilities.

Instead, you could use a product that's secure by design.

Hrmn.

Doesn't it also mean they're finding lots of problems with it?

Key word "finding". Most large software has plenty of bugs, CVE's just tell you how many they're aware of
