We shouldn't be surprised about the PHPocalypse, as the internet is built on sticks and glue

The article warns that the PHP2Shell vulnerabilities in PHP core expose a large share of the web—roughly 70% of sites—to potential remote code execution, underscoring how much of the internet still depends on aging, fragile software. For CIOs and technology leaders, the strategic takeaway is that this is not just a patching event but a reminder to inventory internet-facing dependencies, accelerate remediation of legacy systems, and reduce concentration risk in critical application layers that may be difficult or impossible to update quickly.
