AI-Discovered PHP Flaw Shuts Websites Worldwide

A critical PHP vulnerability, found with AI assistance, has forced government and corporate websites offline globally. The flaw, which allows attackers to compromise servers without authentication, was discovered using AI models, including OpenAI's, after remaining undetected for over a decade. Europe's CERT-EU requested shutdowns, and the U.S. NSA advised going offline if patches aren't applied. Korea's internet watchdog, KISA, urged users to update, and the government is considering emergency patch support. Korean media highlight the irony: AI exposed the flaw, but hackers could also use AI for attacks, calling it a 'sword and shield' situation.
