The story so far
The PHP Foundation released patches for two critical flaws in PHP, the server-side language that runs a large share of the web. PHP runs about 70% of websites whose server-side language is known. Wiz said every version from the past decade is affected by at least one of the flaws, going back to PHP 5.4. A headline on the story said OpenAI and Google's Wiz found the vulnerabilities.
A security brief published the next day said both flaws were being actively exploited after the fixes were released. It said the reach of PHP makes the problem urgent. A separate report that day carried the name PHP2Shell in its headline. It said Amazon described the two vulnerabilities as broadly exploited in the wild. That means attackers are already using them against real targets. The headline said hackers had a four-day head start. Coverage so far has stressed that the stakes are high because of how widely PHP is used.

The summary above is written by a language model from Oesnada summaries only and regenerates when a new story arrives.
