Analysis of Code Vulnerabilities in Repositories of GitHub and Rosettacode: A comparative Study

Open-source code hosted online at programming portals is present in 99% of commercial software and common practice among developers for rapid prototyping cost-effective development. However, research reports the presence vulnerabilities, which result catastrophic security compromise, individual, organization, even national secrecy are all victims this circumstance. One frustrating aspects vulnerabilities that manifest themselves hidden ways unaware of. most critical tasks ensuring vulnerability detection, jeopardizes core concepts like integrity, authenticity, availability. This study aims to explore security-related languages such as C, C++, Java disparities between them popular repositories. To attain purpose, 708 programs were examined by severity-based guidelines. A total 1371 vulnerable codes identified, 327 51 993 Java. Statistical analysis also indicated a substantial difference them, there ample evidence Kruskal-Wallis H-test p-value (.000) below 0.05 significance level. The Mann-Whitney Test mean rank GitHub (Mean-rank=676.05) Rosettacode (Mean-rank=608.64) different. novelty article identify grasp nature severity eventually manifests guideline choosing secure language successful testing technique targets more liable breaching security.
