AI Finds PHP Flaws, Global Sites Shut Down

Critical vulnerabilities in PHP, used by about 70% of websites, were discovered with AI assistance, prompting worldwide emergency responses. On October 21-22, European government sites like the University of Geneva went offline, and the U.S. NSA advised offline transition if patches weren't applied. The PHP team released an emergency fix on October 21, and the flaws had existed for over a decade, with the PHP foundation noting signs two years prior but failing to fix them. In Korea, the government issued a nationwide security alert to businesses and operators, and Yonhap reported the discovery was impossible without AI. Experts warn hackers could now use AI for large-scale attacks, calling it a 'double-edged sword' and predicting future AI-versus-AI confrontations. Ami Luttwak, co-founder of Wiz, called it 'the most serious security vulnerability found by AI.'
