So if its a hobby project designed for just a handful of people, its suddenly okay to endanger them due to being sloppy?

This is an open source project that you're not obligated to use nor did you pay for it. Who is it endangering?

The license also makes it clear that the authors aren't liable for any damages.

...and what open source software license in the world makes the author liable for damages?

None. That is how RedHat makes money.

Probably more of lack of explicit liability in the license.

		every OSS license I've ever seen is "use at your own risk" essentially. That's how this whole system works. You find a vulnerability? patch it, push change to repo maintainer. https://xkcd.com/2347

The code nor author don’t endanger anyone. Whoever uses it inappropriately endangers themselves or others.

Why are you using random, unvetted and unaudited code where safety is important?

Open Source is about sharing knowledge.

They are sharing their knowledge about how to create a tiny JSON parser. Where is the problem again?

Yes, pretty much. It has enough of a warning.
