A delayed fix for a PHP security vulnerability was a “structural failure”, the PHP Foundation says, after work repeatedly stalled over disagreements within the security team and a shortage of developers with the necessary expertise.
The foundation says there were suspicions as early as 2024 that the vulnerability could be exploited. The weakness was disclosed recently, but the report does not say when a fix was completed or provide technical details about the vulnerability. [1]
