These vulnerabilities, collectively dubbed PHP2Shell, were considered too difficult to exploit until AI-assisted research turned them into practical attack vectors. The episode highlights how AI can accelerate security research and increase pressure on teams responsible for patching widely used software.Why it mattersThe PHP vulnerabilities had been known to developers for years but were not considered easily exploitable. AI-assisted research changed
