Who is responsible for a software system's security?

A hardcoded password, a SQL injection, a system with a known issue, or not changing the default password. There can be lots of fingerprints on that knife.

In my own opinion, I believe everyone is a culprit, from the machine, to software application, to system admin, to end user. A flaw can be left anywhere and that can cause a security problem.
