No doubt. It's amazing too how some code that was never expected to be exposed to untrusted/unsanitized data gets re-factored into a new spot or called from somewhere else, and fails to provide sanitation expecting that the callee will do it, or simply forgetting altogether (easy when under pressure to deliver). I coded a pretty bad security hole myself once by doing something like that, and I am a security specialist that knows what to look for lol!

I love C, but it really is a security nightmare full of footguns.
