PHP Meltdown reveals how AI makes software vulnerabilities more exploitable

The PHP Meltdown Shows How AI Makes Bugs More Exploitable

Artificial intelligence is changing cybersecurity in ways that extend far beyond automated malware detection and phishing emails. The PHP Meltdown incident demonstrates a more consequential shift: AI tools can help security researchers turn old, complicated software flaws into practical exploits that attackers may be able to reproduce. In October 2026, researchers helped uncover critical vulnerabilities […]
