What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

Cairo 24 (Arabic, Egypt), 22 October: AI reveals a serious PHP flaw threatening millions of sites. It relays the BBC: PHP runs about 70% of the world's sites and is maintained by the non-profit PHP Foundation; Wiz and Calif named the flaws php2shell and said they lie in the language itself and cover versions released over the past decade.

_Curator's translation:_ "PHP runs about 70% of the world's sites"

It quotes experts Paul Spain, Jill Slay and Salil Kanhere.
