Galvanic corrosion, caused by the aluminum panel being contaminated with steel during the stamping, welding or other manufacturing process. As there is no way to determine where and the extent of the contamination, panel replacement is recommended.
The factory warranty is for five years. Afterwards, it's out-of-pocket.
From the Ford 2022 Warranty Guide:
3) Your vehicle’s body sheet metal panels are covered for an
extended Corrosion Coverage Period, which lasts for five years,
regardless of miles driven. The extended warranty coverage only
applies if a body sheet metal panel becomes perforated due to
corrosion during normal use due to a manufacturing defect in
factory-supplied materials or factory workmanship. If aluminum
body panels have corrosion or rust damage, and the damage is
not the result of abnormal usage, vehicle accident, customer
actions and/or extreme environmental conditions, the corrosion
or rust damage repairs are covered for 5 years, unlimited miles.
For damage caused by airborne material (environmental fallout)
where there is no factory-related defect involved and therefore
no warranty − our policy is to provide free repair of paint damage
due to the airborne material for 12 months or 12,000 miles,
whichever occurs first.

Time for a new hood. There’s no good way to fix it as Skye mentioned.
