This is more indicative of CERT's focus than the relative frequency of
security issues. The fact that a large fraction of e-commerce merchants
let you set the price for the goods you buy is in practice a larger threat
than the widely publicized buffer overflows.

Semantic security bugs in individual web sites do not rate highly enough
on Cert's seismograph, but are in practice far more common.
