I guess your parent meant security problems due to bugs that could have been prevented using a language that has a stricter type system.
This does not mean you don't have to deal with security (your case still applies), but at least you get rid of some known bugs in advance.

Personally I'm a huge fan of how Flow or Typescript add a type system on top of Javascript and think anyone writing a >500 line web app would hugely benefit from using one of them.
