That kind of toxic deflection from his own errors using maliciously false personal attacks is exactly why development there gets zero review, and is probably the most direct causative reason for the vulnerability in the first place. Regardless of where you might land on how much the flaw was malice vs ignorance, in either case review would have caught it with very high probability had there been any.
