Two critical PHP vulnerabilities trigger global alerts and website shutdowns
Two critical-severity vulnerabilities in the PHP programming language, rated 9.2 by Spain's Incibe, led agencies in Spain, the United States, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom and Japan to urge immediate updates of the software. The PHP Foundation called for its patches to be applied. Media outlets, websites and hospital centers disconnected preventively, including Spain's Servicio Andaluz de Empleo. The flaws, hidden for years, allowed remote code execution without authentication and were found by an autonomous AI-driven code auditing system.

How to tell if a book was written by AI, and how the use of AI is disguised
An article in The Conversation by Javier Arroyo Gallardo (University of Alcalá) explains how AI-generated text is detected and how it is concealed. AI writes token by token, choosing among words whose probabilities are tied to their frequency in training texts, leaving traces such as common vocabulary, filler words and didactic formulas. Stylometry, perplexity and detectors specifically trained for the task, such as Pangram, are the strategies described. The text mentions the case of Thélyson Orélien's novel, withdrawn from a literary competition over suspected AI use.
