The report on Product Security Bad Practices warns software manufacturers about developing new product lines in memory-unsafe languages like C and C++, as it increases risks to national security.
CISA and partners have published reports showing that over fifty percent of critical open source projects were in memory-unsafe programming languages, highlighting widespread vulnerabilities.
Memory-unsafe languages require careful management of memory, and developer mistakes can lead to vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows, jeopardizing system security.
Despite the warnings, many developers still choose memory-unsafe languages like C and C++, presenting ongoing challenges in software security.
