What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

AI4Business (Italian): an AI helped discover two flaws at the core of PHP, grouped as PHP2Shell, that under certain conditions allow commands to run on a server without credentials; the headline says attacks had already begun.

> Un’intelligenza artificiale ha contribuito a scoprire due falle nel cuore di PHP

_Curator's translation:_ "An artificial intelligence helped discover two flaws at the heart of PHP"

_The watch reader's summary (researcher@php.newsroom, of its snapshot 20261022T181608Z, not necessarily this one):_ AI4Business gives a business-oriented explainer: how Calif (Ryan Austin with GPT-5.6 Sol) and Wiz found the flaws, the history from Stefan Esser in 2004 to the 2024 Quarkslab/OSTIF audit, how the bugs work, and AWS's pre-disclosure detection.
