Except this was found eventually.

How many fifteen year old plus problems exist in closed source bases?

You mean those that too "get found eventually"?

Ignoring bad SSL certs in particular is one issue that can be reliably and easily tested regardless of how available the source of a given software is. It's a staple in Android app security testing even.

seems like some thing like this might be searchable by regex's? "/.*ignore.*ssl/i"* , at least in reasonably popular packages like qbittorrent or transmission. I'm sure some regex gurus could come up with some good ones**
