I'm sure A & E are correct. Remember the question is asking about the GREATEST concerns about open source libraries...I agree that libraries may be vulnerable (A) and although many open source projects are generally supported by communities, some libraries MAY be unsupported (E). So what if the libraries' code bases could be read by anyone? This is open source code we're talking about so why would it be a concern?
