Typescript applications suffer from many of these vulnerabilities. JS apps have a specific class of critical vulnerabilities as well, prototype pollution. If I had to write a web application with security in mind, I personally would pick Python. It’s possible to make mistakes in any language though, and the environment an app is deployed in can independently introduce many vulnerabilities.

When I wrote typescript, it was half a joke as a result of the language ranking in one of the comments. As you said, the most important factor is the platform, not the language itself. Writing the software in a language that run well on the platform you aim for, is the right decision.
