AI Exposes Decades-Old Vulnerabilities in Internet Infrastructure
Artificial intelligence uncovers critical flaws in widely used software and hardware, highlighting the fragility of modern systems.
The discovery of vulnerabilities in PHP, a programming language used by 70% of websites, was made possible by AI tools like Gemini 4 and GPT-5.6, which can process vast amounts of code quickly and identify patterns.
The flaws, which had been hidden for over a decade, allowed attackers to take control of servers without a password, and were only exploitable by combining multiple steps and conditions.
The use of AI in security has changed the landscape, allowing for faster detection and patching of vulnerabilities, but also creating a new challenge for attackers to stay ahead of the AI-powered defenders.
