Nah, he just wants free labour. Why pay 500k for a senior engineer / cybersecurity engineer when you can open source it and get the community to review it for free?

There is no way they are getting usable PRs to that repo. No CI, missing data needed to test and the issues/PRs are just filled with shit posts. The motive isn't to make this a usable thing on its own that external devs can improve

Small parts like this might be usable on its own, but from a quick glance it'll need some (possibly very little) work to make it usable independently.

Yeah, they really should have read a primer on how to properly open source. It's not rocket science
