AI models including OpenAI models and Google models were used by defensive researchers to discover two critical vulnerabilities in PHP known as PHP to shell, which allow attackers to control affected servers without logging in. Cloudflare reported millions of exploit attempts within the first 12 hours after disclosure. Experts warn that the internet faces an 18-month race to patch these systemic weaknesses before bad actors exploit them.
“So within the first 12 hours, Cloudflare saw millions of attempts to exploit the PHP vulnerabilities. That is AI scale. That human hackers can't do that.”
“Researchers had found two critical vulnerabilities that could let attackers take control of vulnerable web servers without even logging in. Now, the story here is that AI was central to finding and demonstrating these flaws.”
