Even after PHP2Shell, blast radius matters more than a CVSS score

PHP2Shell demonstrates how attackers can rapidly exploit critical vulnerabilities before patches are deployed. Token Security argues that blast radius matters more than a CVSS score, and organizations should limit access for service accounts, application programming interface (API) keys, and artificial intelligence (AI) agents to contain potential breach damage.

Why it matters: Security teams managing service accounts, APIs, and AI deployments need to prioritize privilege minimization today, since CVSS scores alone do not predict real-world blast radius or business impact.
