Read Original

This article examines replicated empirical studies across major codebases (Android, iOS, Chrome, Linux kernel) demonstrating that 65-70% of critical security vulnerabilities stem from memory unsafety in C and C++. It discusses the implications for software security and advocates for memory-safe programming languages as a proven mitigation strategy.
