A study of synergy between programming practices evolution and information disclosure-causing vulnerabilities

This paper focuses on vulnerabilities that resulted in information disclosure and how their characteristics changed over two decades, from 1999 to 2020. The purpose of this analysis was to understand the development in conventional programming and its relationship with information disclosure-causing vulnerabilities. The focus period of this study was divided into two decades: 1999–2010 and 2010–2020. To understand the vulnerabilities that were reported in the first decade and remained popular in the second decade, the crawled CVEs were filtered based on their publication and update dates.
