You mean the "I'm entitled to free stuff!" mentality? That's thanks to open sores.

FTFY

RIP Open Sores

Are you retarded? nobody use nodejs. Javascript = malware.
>Le evil capitalist corporations meme XD
Not evil, just lazy. You'd never believe what kind of ancient shit is found in corporate IT.
>Le evil
No, they don't want to waste money. Just how business works.
Also
>I don't know it happened so it never happened
Don't get angry if you have double digit IQ.
>companies wouldn't bother fixing it because it would cost more money and resources.
On top of that, they would optionally sell it to intelligence agencies as an intended backdoor.
>An application was be built

Your NEET is showing (and bootlicking above all)
Companies are reactive to problems, only big tech shit can afford investment on prevention

Blaming others for your inability to read is uncalled for. The license makes it clear as daylight that it comes with no warranties of merchantability. Moving to closed source won’t fix your inability to read. No one cares if you choose to use proprietary libraries either. Hence:
Open Source does not force you to be lazy, that’s just a trend in JavaScript community. Don’t blame Open Source because your community needs left-pad (just an example).
Although the project comes with no warranties, Open Source does not force you to do a bad job in doing project management, neither does it prevent you to write bugs. Open Source is not your antivirus.
Had this been closed source, issues like this probably would never actually fixed. Companies may optionally sell the exploit as a desired backdoor to intelligence agencies. You know the ins and outs of the exploit because the source is open.
Your NPM package is compromised does not mean that the Open Source is compromised. You had the option to either audit or ignore the package yet you chose to use it, which is entirely your choice.
Refrain from spreading malicious propaganda filled blogs. Not that I expect you to listen. It’s a free world.
Honestly CI vendors could make a killing with this.
