Can iPhones, Androids or Windows Phone 7 have security vulnerabilities?

 

Windows Phone 7 hasn’t been out long and according to the https://nvd.nist.gov Windows Phone 7 does not have any vulnerabilities,  but it is  likely that there will a few or more, but since there isn’t any data, let’s skip Windows Phone 7 for now. 

What about Android and iPhone, do phones have vulnerabilities? image

  • Android has 19
  • iPhone has 5

iPhone currently has only 5 vulnerability over the past three months, all medium to low, Android shown below the Apple list:
