Not only moral, but mostly legal.

Warranties are not included. So it's a bit lame to blame "a popular third party library".

The OP was trying to say a company of Atlassians size should dedicate the resources to vet (and fix) those libraries if they use them for these purposes.

I don't think anyone is trying to shift blame, just to explain what happened. I am not affiliated with Atlassian so I'm only guessing.

Sorry, i wasn't trying to imply they shifted blame. But atlassian does bare the legal&moral burden of securing their product here.

I agree with you. I don't agree that they have a moral obligation to make pull requests to the open source library that had the issue. Hopefully they will, but there is no obligation there in my mind.
