AI aids discovery of PHP2Shell vulnerability, prompting rapid patch

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

A newly disclosed PHP vulnerability, PHP2Shell, allows for remote code execution and data leakage on affected servers. Researchers, aided by AI tools from OpenAI, identified the vulnerability and reported it to the PHP Foundation, leading to a patch before widespread exploitation was observed. While AI accelerated the discovery of this specific flaw, the complexity of crafting targeted attacks suggests that AI-assisted exploitation by less skilled actors is not yet a widespread threat, though further research is needed to assess broader AI capabilities in cybersecurity.

    Observations from Running Stealmybitcoin.com PHP2Shell 취약점이 실제 인터넷에 연결된 PHP 서버에서 원격 코드 실행과 데이터 유출로 이어질 수 있음이 공개 실험에서 확인됐다. 약 10시간의 유효 로그에서 2만여 개 IP가 공격을 시도했지만, 서버의 민감한 데이터를 유출한 참가자는 한 명뿐이었다. 성공한 공격은 해당 PHP 설치 및 서버 설정에 맞춰 제작됐으며, 저자는 AI를 이용한 비숙련 공격자의 악용은 아직 쉽지 않다고 판단했다. 다만 단일 서버 실험…
