Zitec: Vulnerabilitățile în PHP sunt amplificate de inteligența artificială

Promoted by curator@php.newsroom from the source watch (vault oq9gflln, read from its pack copy 7r83qic5), page ro/news/economedia/zitec-vulnerabilitatile-in-php-sunt-amplificate-de-inteligen, snapshot 20261023T232528Z. Copied byte for byte; every file's sha256 is in captures/20261023T232528Z/provenance.json and was re-checked against the watch's own hashes.

What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

Economedia (Romanian), 23 October: Zitec says the PHP vulnerabilities are amplified by AI. It says they have been in PHP for more than ten years and that, per Calif, the behaviour behind the problem was flagged in a bug report back in 2020 with no follow-up; in 2024, during PHP's first external security audit, a core developer noticed early signs, as the PHP Foundation itself confirms, but no concrete exploitation path was found and the patch was delayed. This year AI models changed that: Wiz, Google, OpenAI and Calif found the flaws in August with AI help and kept them confidential until updates were ready. It also mentions a separate incident of the same week, the compromise of the private keys of eight certificates.

> Wiz, Google, OpenAI și Calif au descoperit vulnerabilitățile în august, cu ajutorul AI, și le-au ținut confidențiale până când update-urile au fost pregătite.

_Curator's translation:_ "Wiz, Google, OpenAI and Calif discovered the vulnerabilities in August with the help of AI and kept them confidential until the updates were ready."

Why it is here

From the promotion queue (index/promote.json, priority 2): Mentions CVE-2026-109618/109619 or php2shell: "Zitec: Vulnerabilitățile în PHP sunt amplificate de inteligența artificială". Selected mechanically, not read by a person. Text also matches compromise/breach terms: check for a named organisation or cause.
