According to the following article http://thehackernews.com/2015/12/programming-language-security.html Veracode published a report (available at https://goo.gl/QVSF1t , registration required) about vulnerabilities in web applications. PHP is at third place, after ColdFusion and Classic ASP (never heard of them...) One thing caught my attention in the article. It says: "...The security researchers crawled popular web scripting languages including PHP, Java, JavaScript, Ruby, .NET, C and C++, Microsoft Classic ASP, Android, iOS, and COBOL" ^^^^^ COBOL a scripting language?!?
