The root cause of many vulnerabilities is memory corruption from software written in memory-unsafe languages like C and C++. The responsibility to stop memory corruption errors lies with the developer, who often finds it hard to catch these issues, leading to a cycle of fixing one vulnerability only to introduce another. To eliminate these vulnerabilities, organizations are advised to move away from C and C++ towards more secure alternatives such as C#, Rust, Go, Java, Ruby, and Swift, which have built-in safety mechanisms that minimize the likelihood of memory corruption vulnerabilities like buffer overflows. The National Security Agency (NSA) recommends these languages due to their improved security and usability features. While mitigations against memory vulnerabilities are available, they are often circumvented by attackers, making it essential to transition legacy systems from C and C++. The development of new programming languages, such as Carbon, aims to provide a path for migrating billion lines of legacy code from C and C++, while Cloudsmith's cloud-native artifact repository supports the transition to memory-safe languages.
