Summary
Researchers, using an OpenAI model in one case, discovered two critical vulnerabilities in PHP, a programming language researchers say powers up to 70% of websites. Governments worldwide urged patching, and some government websites in Europe, including the Dutch parliament's lower house homepage, went offline as a precaution while fixes were applied. India's eMudhra exited its website security business amid the global alarm over the flaws.
