The proliferation of AI coding "assistants" is reintroducing the few somewhat solved vulnerability classes. We have a hard enough time with ../ -- we don't need to bring back SQL injection en masse.
Importantly, newer memory safe languages may be harmed by virtue of being less represented leading to, roughly: "I'm just less productive in Rust than C because my AI assistant can't help me as much".
@SheHacksPurple that the current trend continues
Newcomers learn to program in the same languages, make the same mistakes, ever increasing software landscapes
Having the exact same problems as the Morris worm, some 36 years ago
2024 has seen SQL injections ian.sh/tsa, soooo many path injections, security companies that SHOULD know better pump out extremely bad code. Fortinet lol , Crowd strike, Microsoft RDP 9.8 CVSS score every hmm 5 years
Software was a mistake perhaps, happy new year
