The main article title is such corpspeak that it would go against the site guidelines to use it—that sort of corporate press release title is typically misleading, linkbait, or both. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor... https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Call me old-fashioned, but I don’t like the subheading.

This is not “security issues”.

It was possible, for years, for anyone to upload anything for any package.

For a package manager, this is THE security issue, all caps.
