A Twenty-Year PHP Veteran Found His Most Serious Flaw With AI's Help
The PHP flaws were first discovered by AI, the BBC reports.
Ryan Austin, who has researched PHP security for 20 years, called it the most serious vulnerability he has ever found and said it began with a hunch he would not have been able to scratch without AI.
The UK's National Cyber Security Centre, along with counterparts in the EU and Australia, urged PHP users to apply the fixes.

Take
The interesting part is the division of labor: a human hunch, extended by a machine until it became a find.
Pushback
Twenty years of PHP security is what made the hunch worth chasing. The AI gets the reach; Austin gets the judgment.
