Stichting achter PHP omschrijft vertraging als „structureel falen”, wist al ruim twee jaar van beveiligingslek

A severe security vulnerability in PHP has forced numerous organizations both domestically and internationally to temporarily take their websites offline. The PHP Foundation, the organization behind the programming language, acknowledged that the critical flaw had been known to them for over two years.

In an internal assessment, the foundation described the prolonged delay in addressing and resolving the issue as a „structural failure.” Despite possessing knowledge of the security risk for an extended period, corrective action was not successfully implemented prior to the public exposure and subsequent emergency shutdowns.
