Well, ignoring all the reports from google, microsoft and mozilla, all of whom are part of a cabal spreading misinformation on the percentage of vulnerabilities caused by memory unsafety in C++ (all 3 arrived at around 70% so it's clearly a made up number they colluded to spread), and ignoring the reports from the United States government (probably infiltrated by rust cultists), I can recommend the paper Memory Errors: The Past, the Present, and the Future

Are you being sarcastic? I genuinely cannot tell.

Yes, except for the legitimate paper recommendation.
