It is not possible to extrapolate with certainty the quality of code from the bugs that remain in it when released.

“There’s a misspelling in the HTTP headers spec, so obviously this was written by amateurs.”

“Browser X has an RCE, so obviously they don’t care about security.”

These are obviously faulty logic when stated about other scenarios, and apply here as well.

Has Zoom been found to have the same specific technical issue reoccurring over multiple releases, to the tune of “buffer overflow” or similar? If so, then that’s a trend to throw up warning flags about.

A series of bugs that share no commonality other than being bugs is, perhaps, not so much.
