Probably not? Most of the "insecure Java" bugs you hear about are due to exploiting the runtime loader by feeding it fun binaries (jars or whatever). The rest of the problems are things that can occur in any framework and Java is probably safer due to being a memory safe language. The exceptions are when they do things unsafe for speed, like font/image processing, but again, that can happen in any lib.

I'd be surprised to hear that using a Java, say, socket or HTTP lib, exposed you to more risk in general than using any other language/runtime/lib.
