PHP flaws found by AI take global sites offline

Critical vulnerabilities in PHP, used by about 70% of websites worldwide, were discovered with AI assistance, prompting government agencies and companies globally to shut down websites and scramble patches, Korea Times and Business Korea report. The flaws allow attackers to execute malicious code on web servers without login, risking data leaks and service outages; the PHP team issued emergency patches, and the U.S. NSA advised going offline if unpatched, per Maeil Business and Chosun Ilbo. In Korea, the government raised its cyber crisis alert to 'caution' and issued a nationwide security alert to businesses and operators, urging immediate updates, Yonhap and Kyunghyang report. Korean media highlight that AI was essential to finding the flaws, with Yonhap noting it was impossible without AI, and Chosun Ilbo quoting Wiz co-founder Ami Luttwak calling it 'the most serious AI-discovered vulnerability.'
