If I look at actual incidence involving memory safety issues compared to supply chain issues in general, it is the later which is much a higher risk to me.
And yes, there were successful supply chain attacks on Rust developers, even just recently: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/08/20/supply-chain-attack-on... despite this being a "solved" problem. I think this becomes worse with AI not better, while memory safety risks will probably get much less in other languages after possibly some higher rate for a while.
