> That seems pretty locked-down to me. I don't think it's reasonable to expect companies to find all the unknown vulnerabilities in any third-party software they use.
It is reasonable to expect for companies to select third-party components that are fit for the purpose. Artifactory was not running in the sandbox, but rather as the edge, so it is in the sandbox'es trust boundary. Same sandboxing requirements would apply for this software too as it is pure dependency.
Security trust boundary was extended to include Artifactory as a dependency, but Artifactory was not fit for the job, and sandboxing failed. And as the network isolation was not good enough, the impact was catastrophic.
