I am unclear on how this relates to untrusted code.
Regardless of your programming language, the low-level machine code is vulnerable. At some point, passwords and other sensitive data is in the memory, and by using these exploits, they can be exposed.
Alternatively, let's be sure that the attackers are not running untrusted code.

- wglb 4y agoBut in most environments, you as a user are not in total control of what is running. If you are in the cloud, other users in unrelated virtual machines can steal your junk. Also, if you are running a web browser with JavaScript turned on, that is effectively another user able to steal your junk.
- jjnoakes 4y agoYes that is true. Untrusted code in general computing environments is basically inevitable.
