In general, native code is not the same as unsafe code (that's why I'm personally excited about Rust. Native + safe = awesome). In C++'s case though it is true that a memory error could be used to exploit the process. Careful use of safe memory abstractions are our main safeguard against this. I can't comment on RCEs, but Proxygen has been externally and internally audited for security. We have many unit tests in the project, and we also internally have more comprehensive integration tests and a fuzzer.
