🤦 It's not necessarily about bugs in Rust-lang, though you can lookup CVEs if you want. The point is that ANY software, by default, will have bugs and exploits. Doesn't matter if it's Rust or C. You can exploit at the core, or at implementation. It's just matter of time and effort, as they say.

Just flat out saying Rust, or software written in Rust is be default is secure, is a fool's assertion. Sure it's LESS LIKELY to have a memory exploit, but that's where that assertion ends.
