FPGAs are mostly proprietary products with proprietary technology inside. Many also have "hard" IP blocks for various things sometimes including a "hard" ARM based computer subsystem.
If you are getting one and flashing your own CPU to it it will be harder to attack, but definitely not impossible. There have been vulnerabilities in FPGAs before.
