Note that some people would say to exclude plugins from this but my view is that we're going to be running plugins as part of our deployment and we'll want to know if we can expand our capabilities by pulling in functionality via plugins without compromising security. So knowing this does a little towards understanding whether the Core provides an API for writing secure plugins and the plugin community is security minded as well as Core developers. And like I say, this is naive :-) 91 Joomla -- Lots of plugins a few in core 79 Drupal -- Lots of plugins a few in core 60 Wordpress -- Lots of plugins, a few in core 53 Mambo --Lots of plugins, at least one in core 4 zikula + postnuke -- 1 in Core, 3 in plugins 1 midgard 0 zikula 0 enano For reference, mediawiki, which we think has an acceptable security-to-benefit ratio, had 8 vulnerabilities reported in 2008 using the same naive count. -Toshio
