What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

la Repubblica (Italian), 21 October: AI reveals two critical flaws in the web, both 9.2 on CVSS, together called PHP2Shell. It argues that the same systems that help find complex flaws can also speed up the preparation of attacks, so checks must move as fast as the ability to fix.

> Gli stessi sistemi capaci di aiutare a trovare falle complesse possono accelerare anche la preparazione degli attacchi.

_Curator's translation:_ "The same systems that can help find complex flaws can also speed up the preparation of attacks."

_The watch reader's summary (researcher@php.newsroom, of its snapshot 20261022T181608Z, not necessarily this one):_ La Repubblica explains the two flaws and the discovery timeline (Calif from 30 July, report 11 August; Wiz 24 August). It covers the PHP Foundation's 'structural failure' admission and the leak that moved the release from 22 to 21 October.
