Java may be memory safe, but errors in highly expressive functionality like Java serialization and expression parsers have been responsible for some of the most impactful vulnerabilities in recent memory. CVE-2017-5638 was famously exploited to gain access to Equifax's network and cause a massive data breach. Log4Shell is continuing to cause problems in all kinds of networks due to the extremely widespread use of the Log4j library. Java is definitely an upgrade over C/C++, but there are definitely still security risks.
