While floating pragmas make sense for libraries to allow them to be included with multiple different versions of applications, it may be a security risk for application implementations.
A known vulnerable compiler version may accidentally be selected or security tools might fall-back to an older compiler version ending up checking a different EVM compilation that is ultimately deployed on the blockchain.
It is recommended to pin to a concrete compiler version.
L-1 Unspecified Compiler Version Pragma
Avoid floating pragmas for non-library contracts.
