I remember blackduck had some reports comparing FLOSS/non-FLOSS with
respect to their security, I found this, but I’m sure there are more
detailed documents:

Also, a bit older, but with more data:

I’m not a specialist at all, and all these sources must be read with
a grain of salt, because authors are often not neutral.
HTH,
