The AppSec Solutions team conducted a study of vulnerabilities in the development of Russian software and identified which aspects of code and programming languages are most at risk of cyberattacks.
The study was conducted on the basis of AppSec.Hub, during which DevSecOps metrics related to code deficiencies and data leakage risks were analyzed. The analysis covered 98 development teams from various industries, including the financial sector, telecommunications, industry, and the fuel and energy sector. Specialists studied more than 140 million lines of code to determine the main metrics of security risk density, using weekly data on identified and uncorrected vulnerabilities.
The results of the analysis showed that programming languages have different levels of vulnerability risk. The highest risk density was recorded for software written in C# and Java. For example, C#'s median security risk density (SRD) was 4.58, which is the highest among all the languages analyzed. At the same time, the Go, Python, and SQL programming languages showed the lowest levels of risk.
Anton Basharin, Senior Managing Director of AppSec Solutions, noted that Java and C# are most vulnerable to attacks due to the many dependencies and the popularity of these languages among developers. In contrast, Go (Golang), developed by Google, is considered a safer language due to its combination of speed and security, similar to C/C++, but with fewer opportunities for vulnerabilities.
