Like all software, best to assume it's safe to use unless and until you hear about a CVE.

Isn't that backwards?  I tend to presume all software is unsafe until proven otherwise...

Nobody is proving software to be anything. Most licenses, even friendly open source ones contain terms like "as is" and "no liability".

Software is considered ok-ish until a security flaw is found. Then if responsible disclosure is applied the vendor/project gets notified first, produces a fix, a CVE is published, everybody updates their stuff and they live happily ever after until the next CVE.

Thanks, that's what i thought but i'm glad to confirm this.
