I see, may the people who are responsible for the infrastructure you depend on be less concerned about shifting blame than you are.

imagine you use a dependency in your code. like left-pad. and some vulnerability is found in left-pad.

is the reporter of that vulnerability responsible for finding and submitting a vulnerability report to every single piece of software that uses left-pad? all ~millions of them?

or do they submit the report to left-pad, get them to fix it at the source, and trust that the people relying on left-pad will update their software like they should when they see a security-relevant update is available?
