Critical PHP security flaws have prompted global warnings, with Google, OpenAI and Amazon responding to potential cyber threats.
Artificial intelligence helped identify two critical vulnerabilities in PHP, which powers most websites. The US National Security Agency advised organizations to take sites offline if they could not update immediately, while authorities in several countries temporarily shut government websites to apply security patches.
The FBI’s cyber division warned Wednesday that two “critical vulnerabilities” had been found in PHP, a widely used programming language that supports many websites and web applications.
Two critical flaws in PHP have caused major problems for websites, prompting some Dutch and Finnish government agencies to take theirs offline as a precaution. The NSA Cybersecurity account and the UK’s National Cyber Security Center advised organizations to disconnect systems if an immediate update was not possible. Researchers say AI has made the roughly 20-year-old bugs easier to exploit; PHP’s maintainers warn attackers could run code remotely without logging in.
Governments and agencies urged websites to patch two critical flaws in PHP, advising organisations unable to update promptly to take systems offline. Finland shut its public government web services, while Dutch agencies and the US National Security Agency also issued shutdown advice. AI helped uncover the flaws, which Wiz described as the most severe vulnerabilities ever found by AI.
Developers of the PHP programming language released a security fix on Wednesday after a vulnerability came to light. They urged users to apply it promptly, while some governments took websites offline as a precaution.
Government agencies and companies worldwide shut down websites on Thursday as they hurried to guard against hacks after AI found critical flaws in PHP, a widely used programming language.
PHP developers say patches for two critical flaws that could let hackers take remote control of websites and servers are now available, and urge users to update immediately. Authorities in several countries issued warnings and took some government sites offline; Cloudflare reported early attacks, and the Wikimedia Foundation said it was addressing the flaws.
Government websites across Europe went offline on Wednesday as operators rushed to patch two critical flaws in PHP, one of the web’s most widely used programming languages.

After two days of diplomacy in Oslo and St Petersburg, the article sees little sign that the Ukraine war is nearing an end. Putin appears to feel no pressure to stop fighting, while the Kremlin says technical-level trilateral talks could resume in Abu Dhabi next month. A leaders’ summit among the US, Russia and Ukraine does not appear imminent.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukraine supports a US proposal for negotiators from Ukraine, Russia and the United States to hold three-way talks as soon as possible, preferably by early November. Chatham House’s Grégoire Roos said it was unclear whether Putin would meet Trump and Zelenskiy, adding that meeting Zelenskiy was the last thing Putin would be prepared to do.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signalled that Moscow is willing in principle to resume talks with Ukraine and the United States next month, following a meeting with US envoy Steve Witkoff. The proposal comes as Trump steps up pressure on Kyiv to reach a deal.
According to Ushakov, Putin indicated that Moscow would assist efforts to reach a political and diplomatic resolution on Iran.
Putin said on Oct. 21 that the Kremlin was ready to resume trilateral talks with the U.S. and Ukraine in mid-November. The day also saw a Russian drone attack kill at least two people and injure two in Kyiv, and a Russian Su-30 crash during training in Kaliningrad Oblast.
The United Nations has been following developments involving talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, as well as a possible resumption of trilateral Russia-US-Ukraine consultations, Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq said. He said the UN is currently monitoring the situation. Putin reportedly told Witkoff Russia is ready to resume the talks around November 10.
The Atlantic reports that Trump wants to reach an agreement to end the Ukraine conflict at the G20 summit in Miami in December. It says he imagines standing between Putin and Zelensky as they sign a deal, even if Ukraine must be strong-armed, with the signing potentially taking place at his golf course near Miami. Trump has said someone other than Zelensky should negotiate for Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin’s aide Yuri Ushakov said Russia was “ready in principle” to resume talks with Ukraine and the US, possibly in Abu Dhabi next month. His announcement followed Putin’s meeting with US envoy Steve Witkoff in St Petersburg.
Moscow is prepared to restart trilateral talks with the United States and Ukraine next month, the Kremlin said Wednesday, after Vladimir Putin met US envoy Steve Witkoff in Russia.
Sources told The Atlantic that Trump wants Russia and Ukraine to sign a peace agreement at the G20 summit in December. The outlet reported that he is willing to consider strong-arming Ukraine and that he is furious with the country and wants Zelensky gone. The summit is scheduled for December 14–15 in Miami. Putin has been invited, but Moscow has not confirmed whether he will attend.
A trilateral meeting between Russia, the United States and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi is expected to involve experts, Yury Ushakov told Channel One. He said President Vladimir Putin will choose Russia’s delegation members and that the meeting will be held at expert level, as before.
Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said Russia’s delegation to a trilateral meeting with Ukraine and the United States may include Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky and military officers. President Vladimir Putin will decide who is on the delegation.
Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said Vladimir Putin has not decided who will represent Russia at the next round of trilateral talks with the United States and Ukraine. The meeting may be held in Abu Dhabi, but the Russian delegation’s makeup remains unclear.
Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov said a new round of talks involving Russia, the United States and Ukraine could be held in Abu Dhabi. A date around November 10, in the middle of the month, has been agreed upon.
Presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said Russia is prepared to resume trilateral talks with the United States and Ukraine in mid-November. He said Putin conveyed this to U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff at a meeting in St. Petersburg. Ushakov described the main topic as a post-conflict security system for Russia and Ukraine, and said the EU and Kyiv’s new approaches offered little useful for resolving the Ukrainian crisis.
Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov said Putin told US President’s special envoy Steve Witkoff that Russia was prepared in principle to resume trilateral talks on the main subject around November 10. Ushakov said the topic was building a security system for Russia and Ukraine.
Putin said the Kremlin is ready to resume trilateral talks with the US and Ukraine, and discussed a possible framework for a meeting in mid-November with US envoy Steve Witkoff. Zelensky said Ukraine supports talks on a ceasefire, ending the war, energy and humanitarian issues, while urging European partners’ inclusion and expressing caution about whether Moscow will follow through.
A Kremlin official said Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed Wednesday to restart trilateral negotiations with Washington and Kyiv next month on ending the war in Ukraine.
