I doubt that it makes sense to judge the "security" of a programming language. There were many problems in the past with badly written Perl CGI scripts as well. In fact, the concern is security of web applications or dynamic pages in general. The typical website owner downloads an application (nowadays often PHP), installs it and probably never updates it. Malicious users can easily exploit said applications to get webserver rights on a host on known problems.
