Now that 2015 is behind us we get to look at the most vulnerable software that could put our PC/laptop or smartphone in jeopardy and also leak our personal information. The year had started with the favourite whipping boy of security researchers and cyber security firm, Adobe Flash reporting multiple zero-days and you would you expected it to top the list of most vulnerable software.
Surprisingly according to the study by CVE Details, Flash is ranked third well behind OS X, the Apple’s proprietary operating system. Even more surprising is that Apple’s mobile operating system iteration, iOS ranks second in the most vulnerable software list.
The results are based on various reports by independent security researchers, cyber-security firms, and even the makers of various software themselves have reported security vulnerabilities who asked for a CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) identifier in 2015.
The CVE is a centralised identifier for vulnerabilities and security researchers/security firms/app developers use CVE to track security flaws across products and time.
