🚨ALARMING: Up to 70% of the world's websites could be at RISK after AI researchers uncovered PHP2Shell, a CRITICAL security flaw in PHP, per WSJ.
The vulnerability could allow hackers to hijack unpatched servers, steal sensitive information and launch attacks against website visitors.
PHP is widely used by WordPress, government portals and e-commerce websites.
Two reported vulnerabilities carry a SEVERE 9.2/10 rating and could allow attackers to remotely execute malicious code without authentication.
The latest developments:
🇫🇮 FINLAND: Shuts down state internet services over the security flaws.
🇳🇱 NETHERLANDS: National cybersecurity agency takes its website offline.
🇫🇷 FRANCE: Temporarily shuts down prefecture websites pending security fixes.
CLOUDFLARE ($NET): Reports early attacks and says protective changes are LIVE.
Emergency patches were released a DAY EARLY after vulnerability details leaked.
EU cybersecurity officials are urging IMMEDIATE patching and advising operators to take vulnerable sites offline if fixes cannot be applied.
The biggest concern is that AI could accelerate the development of exploits, potentially allowing hackers to weaponize the vulnerabilities before millions of websites can be secured.
