When I last looked (as a consulting dev in a bank or three, horrified) absolutely they had not!

If this was in the US, all financial institutions need to audit their code to comply with NIST SP 800-53.

If they haven’t, it would be ethically dubious for you to not report it.

  • In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is.

    I can report all I want, someone needs to act on that report for it to have an effect.

    There are people out there who think that some static analysis tool plugged into their CI/CD pipeline is the equivalent of a code audit.

  • In my experience, most devs and companies don't consider the dependencies they load 'their' code. They only look at the code they write, not everything they deploy.
