OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Identifies Critical PHP Security Vulnerability
A security researcher utilized OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol model to proactively identify critical exploits within the PHP programming language before they could be leveraged by malicious actors. This discovery has led to the release of a new tool designed to help developers detect vulnerable versions of PHP that require immediate patching. Ami Luttwak, co-founder of Wiz security team and contributor to the identification of the PHP2Shell exploit, described the finding as one of the most severe AI-discovered vulnerabilities to date. The event highlights the growing role of advanced large language models in cybersecurity, both as tools for proactive defense and as potential catalysts for discovering high-impact software flaws.
