AI finds PHP flaws, websites go dark worldwide

Critical vulnerabilities in PHP, a language used by about 70% of websites, were discovered with AI assistance, prompting government and company websites to shut down globally, including in Europe and Korea. Korea Times reports the Korean government issued a nationwide security alert to businesses and operators, while Yonhap notes the flaws were found through AI analysis of real servers. Chosun Ilbo says PHP developers released an emergency patch on Oct. 21, and experts warn hackers could use AI for large-scale attacks. Korean media frame AI as a 'double-edged sword'—finding flaws but also enabling attacks—with Kyunghyang Shinmun quoting experts saying 'theoretically possible... now it's AI versus AI.'
