Any sources for these numbers?

Yes all of them have sources.

Look for example top 500 CVEs of this year (after many fixes in C++, not right when the 70% memory issues in Chrome came out).

Look at top 10 CVE github 2025 (zero memory related does not make it).

Look at that sudo-rs was not allowed in Ubuntu because it's not as safe (way worst track record) than the C version, almost all is input sanitation.

Look at wordpress plugins hacks, all PHP all memory safe language. Compare that to HAProxy and Nginx (C).

Etc.

90℅ of all statistics is made up.
