This is like saying a Python or Ruby application could be exploited if someone snuck code into your machine. This is a known scripting language "flaw" that nobody cares deeply about.

It is something that gets attention when you have a defense-in-depth approach. Look at https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0551/ and https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0578/ for Python.
Why just scripting languages? Can't I replace compiled binaries as well?
