AI-assisted researchers uncovered critical flaws in PHP, a language used by an estimated 70% of websites. Patches are out, and operators are racing to update. But that 70% figure is PHP's reach—not a count of hacked sites. Alex and Maya explain what the PHP project says about the risk, how AI helped defenders find the flaws, and why deploying a fix across the web is the hard part. If you run a PHP-backed site, check your host's guidance and the official PHP advisory. We do not cover exploit methods.
