Programming Language Security Vulnerabilities: An Overview


Listen Later

Several sources discuss software vulnerabilities across different programming languages. One source highlights a specific vulnerability, CVE-2024-27322, in the R programming language. Another examines the potential of memory-safe languages like Rust, Go, and Python to mitigate a significant portion of security bugs prevalent in languages such as C and C++. Additionally, one article ranks the top five programming languages of 2022 (Python, PHP, Java, Ruby on Rails, and C) based on their cybersecurity risks and suggests best practices. A research paper provides a systematic review comparing coding vulnerabilities and their severity across various languages, noting that C and C++ often exhibit the most weaknesses. Finally, a resource from Mend.io analyzes the security landscape of seven popular languages, identifying C as having the highest number of reported vulnerabilities, while another explores the use of language models for detecting vulnerabilities in several programming languages.
