You can more easily check for known-vulnerable dependencies

[MangoToupe]

Right, but if you can embed bad packages in LLMs, you can surely embed any kind of vulnerability imaginable.

[Retr0id]

I'm not thinking about deliberately embedded vulnerabilities, just accidental/emergent ones. The modern equivalent of devs copy-pasting stackoverflow answers that happen to contain SQL injection vulns.

Does the distinction make any difference?

[Retr0id]

Yes, you'd take different actions to avoid each.
