please take note that the company which is pointing out the issues also has a remedy on offer. also, the companies name is mentioned eight times throughout the article.

i don't consider the java platform being high-risk. rather the opposite.

because java is used a lot in enterprise applications, keeping track of security vulnerabilities in java components and selling that information to enterprises makes an interesting business opportunity. from my point of view, that makes vulnerabilities more transparent an manageable.

Does the current Fbox implementation use Java? Should we eliminate it
as a matter of necessary security policy? If not, how can we deal with
these issues?

Are other things we use also high-risk? Javascript? Perl? Python? ...?
