Is anyone spending millions of dollars on checking OpenBSD?

But it also got its share of use-after-free and OOB access vulnerabilities this year: https://feedly.com/cve/vendors/openbsd

Yep, the reason why OpenBSD has had 5 times as many security vulnerability reports in 2026 than in 2025 has to do with the fact that OpenBSD is more secure and the reason is the code.

It was designed to have its vulnerabilities discovered in the year of agentic AI.
