"You can wind up with "an unmaintanable mess riddled with security holes" in any language"
Sure, but it is much, much, much easier to do in C than in other languages. By default you have unchecked array access, fixed width integers, strings terminated by a special character, and tons of exploitable undefined behavior. Writing secure code in C takes substantial effort, substantially more than in other languages.
