The PHP Meltdown Shows How AI Makes Bugs More Exploitable

Security researchers employed artificial intelligence (AI) tools to discover long-standing vulnerabilities in PHP, a widely-used web scripting language. The discovery was followed by AI-assisted exploitation attempts against those same vulnerabilities.

Why it matters: Organizations running PHP applications face accelerated vulnerability discovery and exploitation timelines; security teams should prioritize patching PHP systems and monitoring for exploitation of recently-disclosed PHP flaws.
