PHP Flaw Puts 70% of Websites at Risk

A critical security flaw in PHP, used by about 70% of websites worldwide, has triggered a global cybersecurity alert. Yonhap reports that the U.S. and European governments have shut down some official sites as a precaution, with the NSA advising immediate updates or offline transition. In South Korea, the government issued a 'caution' cyber alert, but Chosun Ilbo reports that 82% of domestic PHP servers run outdated versions that cannot be patched, raising concerns about vulnerability. Korean media, including Dong-a Ilbo editorials, call for a new information security framework in the AI era, noting that AI discovered the flaw. Ami Luttwak, co-founder of Wiz, called it "the most serious AI-discovered vulnerability," as quoted by Chosun Ilbo.
