Is the C++ programming language the ultimate back door? Did the NSA or whoever encourage it specifically because of its unsafety and prevalence of security flaws? Are any of the C++ standards committee members sock puppets for the NSA to water down any proposals to evolve the language towards safe defaults? That’s a bit too conspiracy-minded; it’s almost certainly just an accident of history. It’s certainly convenient for black-hat and national security types though. How long until some congressperson finds out about Rust, though, and decides it’s a threat to national security since software written in Rust has many fewer security vulnerabilities.
