I am very much inclined to agree with you, but do you have any sourcing for a claim that spatial is a bigger problem with regards to security vulnerabilities? Every time I feel like posting similar sentiments I just know that a reply linking to an article about how Microsoft and/or Google claim 70% of bugs are memory safety issues will be posted. Both of the ‘studies’ (code surveys) seem to claim use-after-free make up the majority of those bugs.
Mitre place spatial memory safety higher on the list: https://cwe.mitre.org/top25/archive/2024/2024_cwe_top25.html (also >3x KEV)
