An Associated Press story published by PBS reports that governments and businesses rushed to patch PHP vulnerabilities uncovered with help from AI agents. The report describes PHP as supporting roughly 70% of websites globally; that figure is not a confirmed count of affected sites. According to the article, the FBI warned that the flaws could enable remote code execution and expose sensitive information or networks.
The report says the PHP Foundation issued fixes and update instructions. British officials described temporary interruptions to some government services, while Finland reported that service had resumed with content restoration still underway. Japanese officials urged administrators to patch affected systems or consider suspending websites. Japan reported no known cyberattack damage connected to the vulnerability at that point.
OpenAI said it had coordinated researchers and security companies over two months to address the flaws, and claimed that AI appeared to have identified them ahead of attackers. Separately, Cloudflare chief executive Matthew Prince reported millions of exploitation attempts after disclosure. These statements are attributed claims in the article, rather than independently verified findings.
