this kind of compromise is why a lot of orgs have internal mirrors of repos or package sources so they can stay behind few versions to avoid latest and compromise. seen it with internal pip repos, apt repos etc.

some will even audit each package in there (kind crap job but it works fairly well as mitigation)
