The vast majority of web and mobile applications are virtually vulnerable

Does more discouraging news of the day? According to a new report from Cenzic, 99% of the applications that the company has tested, whether for mobile or web applications have security flaws that can be exploited, and the average number of faults per application is 13 or so. Yes, 13 security level vulnerabilities are a lot.
It seems the most common type of vulnerability is the XSS, or Cross-scripting, especially in web applications. At the level of the app for mobile, the most common vulnerabilities are infrastructure.
The fact that companies want to create apps able to connect with each other has created several security holes that probably no one predicted they would be there.
Of course, for obvious reasons Cenzic not released the name of the applications tested, but it seems that there were many. So how are you apps are vulnerable, insurance that the vast majority of the remaining applications also have some kind of security level fails.
