The overall point was, every major platform has vulns and the very reports of them show a company that is actively working to improve the platform. In fact, Java and PHP really blew the doors off the chart with the number of vulnerabilities they've reported.

In that post I compared Java, PHP, Tomcat, and ColdFusion CVEs reported on the year 2000 and found ColdFusion to have far fewer reported vulns per year than any of the other technologies. This prompted me to revisit a blog post I did almost 3 years ago that collected the number of CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) in several popular web technologies including ColdFusion.

What to say about Adobe products? Don’t used in your business. Among the landslide of tweets were also a few people poking at ColdFusion such as this person who went as far as to say businesses should scrap all use of Adobe products in general due to the number of vulnerabilities.

It's too bad no one takes this much effort to focus on positive news from other languages. This brought with it the usual flurry of twitter activity from security-minded accounts who pounce on the opportunity to retweet every vuln report on the internet. Adobe released some new security updates for ColdFusion 10 and 11 yesterday.
