Yeah, there's some limits to what they could do while maintaining pace for the 0 day stuff...

Some input validations would be the most basic things they should have done years ago. I'm aware of the hashing mature vendors do of any content they download for updates or deployments. Signature checking as well, and that's before the code is even inspected - why don't they include their automated tests they obviously aren't using in the update as a sanity check client-side? (I'm not aware of anyone doing this or even if it's possible without the rest of the IDE, stack, I'm no dev)
