Hackers were already probing the bug before defenders were told it existed. Amazon has warned that vulnerabilities in a programming language that underpins much of the Internet, discovered using AI tools, are being “broadly exploited” as governments and companies rush to secure their systems.
Ars Technica
PHP is the scripting language that builds pages for many of the web's sites and apps, so a flaw in it can be reached through WordPress, Drupal or Joomla. Maintainers plan emergency fixes for two bugs rated 9.2 out of 10, after an unconfirmed report of a tool that runs code on servers running PHP 5 or newer. Security firms expect mass attacks soon after the patches land.
