The internet is having an off week, to say the least. <\/p>\n
Security researchers at OpenAI and Google-owned Wiz used AI to uncover critical flaws in PHP, the open source language behind roughly 70% of websites, including those built on WordPress, WooCommerce, and Magento. The holes date back more than a decade, and now that a fix is out, companies are scrambling to patch their systems as attackers try to exploit the them. <\/p>\n
On this episode of TechCrunch\u2019s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Sean O\u2019Kane, and Anthony Ha dig into why AI-powered bug hunting could make this the first of many internet-wide scares, what Elon Musk\u2019s careful choreography says about where a Tesla-SpaceX merger is headed, and more of the week\u2019s headlines. <\/p>\n
