  15. https://kobzol.github.io/rust/2026/06/15/how-memory-safety-cves-differ-between-rust-and-c-cpp.html theres a difference in how we treat vulnerable code in rust compared to c. In rust, if any usage of a safe api leads to unsoundness, it's considered a vulnerability, while in c there's a concept of "correct" and "incorrect" usage of an API. This cannot be specified precisely in the type system due to lack of expressivity. This sets a different standard, and makes comparing number of cves for example not as useful.
