The bulk of the highly publicized security issues with PHP have been with open source apps that have SQL injection, XSS, and similar vulnerabilities (eg -- coder-related problems). > > Like i said, im not trolling but would like to know for my own personal > benefit and to have the correct info. Secunia is a good place to look for reported vulnerabilities for any major product: ColdFusion 7.x has 0/13 unpatched (http://secunia.com/product/4984/) Zend Platform 2.x (PHP) has 0/2 unpatched (http://secunia.com/product/11679/) Rails 1.x has 0/2 unpatched (http://secunia.com/product/11350/) ASP.NET 1.x has 4/7 unpatched (http://secunia.com/product/2173/) That's reported vunlerabilities in the product itself.
