(1/5) Some thoughts on yesterday's #PHP #vulnerability
π Normally, vulnerabilities are patched before we hear about them, with key distributors notified in advance to reduce risk. This time, a security researcher accidentally published details early, and a for-profit PHP distributor broke embargo and leaked the fix. The vulnerability was exploited in the wild within the hour, making everything worse.
