"Newer versions of the compiler build your code with security vulnerabilities" is a very real problem in C. E.g. since x86_64 has no aligned memory access instructions, a lot of programmers assume there's nothing wrong with doing unaligned memory accesses, but actually recent gcc/clang will happily compile those into RCE vulnerabilities.
