GPT-5.6 Sol helped find two critical PHP flaws, now patched
The Rundown AI reported that OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol helped researchers identify two critical flaws in PHP, the language behind roughly 70% of websites, and that PHP maintainers have now released patches. The newsletter said security firm Calif found the first bug on Aug. 1 using GPT-5.6 Sol, while Google-owned Wiz separately caught both flaws weeks later with Sol and Gemini 4 Argon. According to the report, OpenAI said it worked with PHP maintainers on patches for two months and called the find one of the most impactful security issues in recent memory; the NSA urged organizations unable to patch to take systems offline, and Cloudflare said it was seeing early attacks.
The report says the decade-old flaws affect PHP, which it says underpins about 70% of websites, and that OpenAI says several significant vulnerabilities are still being fixed.
