TLDR Two critical PHP flaws, known as “PHP2Shell,” could let hackers run malicious code on servers from afar. The NSA, FBI and authorities in several other countries have issued urgent warnings. Amazon spotted attempts to exploit the flaws before they were public, but it is unclear how attackers learned of them. Google and OpenAI said AI tools helped find the flaws, and Cloudflare deployed protections. Cloudflare reported millions of exploit attempts after disclosure, and some Japanese services were suspended.
