U.S. federal authorities are no longer obligated to examine the source code of the software they use. This measure, which took effect without a specified date, removes a previous requirement aimed at verifying the security and quality of software components integrated into government systems. The article states that this decision applies to software deployed within U.S. federal agencies but does not specify any technical standards or replacement mechanisms. No references to specific tools, vulnerabilities (CVE), or concrete impacts are provided.
