@reuters: Some government websites in Europe and elsewhere went offline on October 21 after vulnerabilities in PHP, a widely used programming language, were uncovered using AI. Raphael Satter explains why. #php #website #cybersecurity #ai #hacking
Hear me out: Turn the internet off for a week then turn it back on.

can’t developers push php updates secretly? so like there ”wasn’t an update.”

very easy, when you set any website address in debug mode, the same url will show you the php script .

who wrote the fix? hope it wasn't ai. the makers have already shown they aren't capable of monitoring what it's doing

what if the government or any one puts a backdoor into it when repairing it.

everybody in comment section saying update regularly, well it does not work like that, you have to consider dependency compatibity because if not handled carefully, crashes

this has been happening for decades it's not new. every audit I've ever had in my 30 year IT career every web server running PHP would fail because it always needed a critical update.

Old news … everyone that cares has already patched

Gareth Rowlands :
This is one reason why you should upgrade regularly. You don’t want to be in a position where there’s a critical vulnerability and your code doesn’t work on the only patched versions.

You didn't mention how the people finding this didn't follow protocol and give relevant parties a heads up and time to patch before releasing the info on Twitter.

We assume ai agents didn’t exploit it yet. Or attackers

Striking that AI helped uncover these flaws. The FBI's warning that attackers could run code remotely explains why governments took sites offline as a precaution.
