PHP’s security scramble is just a preview: AI is digging up flaws faster than maintainers can fix them

AI is compressing the time between vulnerability discovery and exploitation, and the PHP example shows how open-source ecosystems can become overwhelmed when flaws are exposed faster than maintainers can patch them. For CIOs and technology leaders, the business risk is a larger attack surface, higher breach probability, and more operational pressure on IT teams to manage dependencies, prioritize fixes, and respond continuously rather than on a traditional release cycle.
