One thing to consider is that the number of deployed installations of
PHP based CMSs like Drupal and Wordpress is much MUCH higher than the
Python based ones like Plone. That alone will skew the numbers quite a
bit.

There are cases of course where the software itself was not designed
with security in mind perhaps for an earlier era (eg. Sendmail) where
the number of exploits is quite high but I don't think Drupal falls
into this category.

Your comment however begs the question - do you feel that one of the
reasons why Drupal is 'insecure' because it's coded in PHP?
