Critical PHP vulnerabilities (PHP2Shell) disclosed, widely exploited after AI-aided discovery

Researchers disclosed two critical vulnerabilities in the PHP programming language — reportedly present for about 20 years — which security firm Wiz says became practically exploitable after AI-assisted work. The flaws have triggered widespread exploitation attempts (Cloudflare reported millions of hits), forced many sites and services offline, and prompted guidance from the NSA and UK NCSC to take systems offline if they cannot be immediately patched.

GPT-5.6 Sol and Gemini 4 Argon help find critical PHP vulnerability affecting millions

OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol and Google's Gemini 4 Argon, alongside security firm Wiz (using Wiz Atlas), independently identified a critical PHP vulnerability; a coordinated two-month, multi-phase response involving PHP maintainers, Wiz, Cloudflare, CISA and the White House produced patches and a GitHub tool to check affected servers. Wiz says LLMs also make it easier to adapt exploits across versions and deployments, and OpenAI proposes the coordination process as a repeatable framework for future AI-driven discoveries.

OpenAI and Wiz use AI to find critical PHP vulnerabilities; PHP Foundation issues patches

Researchers using OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol and Wiz's security tooling (Wiz Atlas and Gemini 4 Argon) discovered two severe, long-standing PHP vulnerabilities present since PHP 5; the PHP Foundation has released patches and the NSA urged sites that cannot immediately patch to go offline. OpenAI and Wiz coordinated responsible disclosure and testing with PHP and multiple hosting/CDN vendors; there were no reported exploits in the wild at disclosure.
