... for a moment, responsibility is different from blame. We should be responsible but not blame any one.
Also security is in layers and it is the job of everyone from

first layer : code writing and not making well known failures like sql injection etc. to code reviews to hopefully catch these if written by junior devs.

second layer : application design and communication protocol selection and general practices in putting things together.

third layer : auditing and white hatting the apps workflow and usage by specialists (if you have the resources)

Even with all these there will be a time when things go "to the fan", and in these times working towards a solution without yelling at people is the best and most productive course.
