An OpenAI Model Reportedly Found a Years-Old Security Hole in PHP

On October 21, a vulnerability in PHP — the language running over 70% of the world's websites — was reportedly surfaced by OpenAI's latest model, highlighting AI's growing role in vulnerability discovery at scale.

AI's capacity to find bugs humans missed for years is moving from theory to demonstration. @NewsPicks reported that on October 21, a risk was revealed in PHP — the programming language that powers more than 70% of the world's websites — and that it was OpenAI's latest model that found this long-hidden "security hole." A flaw sitting undiscovered in such widely deployed infrastructure is exactly the kind of systemic risk that keeps security teams awake.
