![]() ![]() In C’s defense, it should be noted that this is the oldest (and most widely used) programming language in the list. The top vulnerabilities found in C were buffer errors and input validation, the report reads, and although numbers have both risen and fallen since 2009, it remains the most insecure language. Reasons for this include heightened security awareness in open source components, along with a more general increase in the popularity of open source projects. The number of reported vulnerabilities in open source code has dramatically risen in the past 10 years, according to the report – by almost 2,000 a year. The list was completed by JavaScript, which accounted for 10.2% of open source project vulnerabilities Python (5.45%) C++ (5.23%) and Ruby (4.25%). PHP was the second most insecure language, making up 16.7% of the vulnerabilities, and Java came in third place with 11.4%. The study by WhiteSource revealed that 46.9% of all reported open source vulnerabilities in the past 10 years were developed using C. Widely-used code responsible for most open source vulnerabilitiesĪ new report examining the security of programming languages has found that almost 50% of all the vulnerabilities discovered in open source projects since 2009 were coded in C. ![]()
