A shitpost about languages that generate CVEs
… the only language where 90% of the world’s memory safety vulnerabilities have occurred in the last 50 years
Yeah… That’s a shit post alright.
I’m not a C developer myself, but that’s just a low blow. Also, uncited ;).
This is an overstatement, definitely. C is one of the few (mainstream) languages where memory safety vulnerabilities are even possible. So if you batch C and C++ together, they probably cover more than 90% of all the memory unsafe cove written in last 50 years, which is a strong implication that they will contribute to 90% of memory vulnerabilities.
All that said, memory vulnerabilities are about 65% of all high implact vulnerabilities on Chromium project[1] and about 70% of vulnerabilities at Microsoft [2].
