If you are wondering whether your website is affected, we have packaged a Codex skill to help check.
Point your Codex at this repo to guide you through it: github.com/openai/php2shell-…
OpenAI models helped researchers—operating as part of our Patch the Planet initiative—discover critical security flaws in PHP, an open-source programming language used to run an estimated 70% of websites.
Over the past two months, we led a coalition of maintainers, researchers, and security providers to prepare fixes and protections ahead of disclosure. This duration was necessary because the fix was quite intricate and required a major change to the PHP engine. Every site using PHP can now safely upgrade their version to stay secure, in addition to applying mitigations from various security vendors.
Due to the severity of these flaws and PHP’s widespread use, we consider this bug to be one of the most impactful vulnerabilities in recent memory. It also marks a new phase, where AI can find security bugs with internet-scale impact.
This is an example of the Defender’s Window in action: to our knowledge, frontier AI was able to find this vulnerability ahead of attackers, giving defenders time to prepare.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
OpenAI may claim a role in the coordinated response and patching process. But the initial discovery and exploit development, however, occurred several months earlier by an independent researcher.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars are pouring in for 81-year-old Donald Johnson after the internet found out he was working 14-hour days to help pay for his wife's cancer treatment.
For the past three years, Johnson has delivered lost luggage after struggling to find other work to cover their bills, all while helping care for Josephine, his wife of 57 years.
Then a North Texas resident saw him struggling with the bags and decided to step in, launching a GoFundMe to help with the couple's medical bills and give Johnson a chance to finally retire.
Now, strangers have raised more than $270,000 for the couple.
Johnson says the support could finally let him put down the luggage and spend more time where he wants to be: by his wife's side.

🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the White House to IMMEDIATELY restore the press credentials of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO reporters after President Trump barred the outlets from the White House.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly granted a 14-day temporary restraining order, finding the news organizations are likely to succeed on their claim that their hard passes were revoked without constitutionally adequate due process.
The judge also rejected the administration’s national-security justification at this stage, writing that the record contains little factual support showing the credential revocations would protect national security.

From Hounslow to Hendon, without the detour.
The proposed West London Orbital would create a new passenger rail link, unlock 25,000+ homes, support thousands of jobs, improve air quality and help cut congestion.

An uncompromising voice for those without a voice, a voice of reason amongst the unreasonable.

We're delighted to welcome @FlyAirZimbabwe to London Gatwick, with the launch of the UK's only direct service to Harare! ✈️
Operating three times a week from our South Terminal, the new route reconnects London Gatwick and Zimbabwe's capital for the first time in more than 14 years, offering passengers even more choice when travelling to Africa.
Demand for travel between Africa and London Gatwick continues to grow, with passenger traffic increasing by 72% since 2023. Harare becomes the latest addition to our expanding route network during a record summer that sees 63 airline partners operating from the airport.
We look forward to working with Air Zimbabwe and connecting more passengers to Zimbabwe and destinations across southern Africa.
