网络安全研究人员表示，在广泛使用的编程语言 PHP 中新发现的一个漏洞，已迫使澳大利亚主要政府网站、教育平台和网络托管服务商下线。PHP 为互联网很大一部分提供支持。分析人士称，该漏洞属于有史以来在人工智能帮助下发现的最严重漏洞之一，自动化工具标记出的弱点允许攻击者在受影响的服务器上运行未经授权的代码。
A newly discovered flaw in PHP, the programming language underpinning much of the internet, has already knocked government sites, schools and web hosts offline across Australia, and experts warn more breaches are coming. Cybersecurity researchers say a newly uncovered flaw in PHP, the widely used programming language that powers a large share of the internet, has already forced major Australian government websites, education platforms and web hosting providers offline. Analysts have described the vulnerability as among the most serious ever identified with the help of artificial intelligence, after automated tools flagged weaknesses that let attackers run unauthorised code on affected servers.
澳大利亚官员警告，随着攻击者争相利用尚未修补的系统，未来几周该国应为数据泄露激增做好准备。过去一天里，多个州政府门户网站和大学平台被迫下线，管理员争分夺秒应用修复方案，导致居民和学生每天依赖的服务中断。
Australian officials warned the country should brace for a rise in data breaches over coming weeks as attackers race to exploit systems that have not yet been patched. Several state government portals and university platforms were taken offline over the past day as administrators scrambled to apply fixes, disrupting access to services that residents and students rely on daily.
安全专家敦促运行基于 PHP 系统的组织立即修补漏洞并检查日志以寻找入侵迹象，指出 PHP 在小企业、学校和政府机构中的广泛使用，使得迅速、统一的响应变得困难。这一事件增加了一系列已动摇澳大利亚机构的软件漏洞，这些机构正努力在一波高调数据泄露后重建公众信任。
Security experts urged organisations running PHP-based systems to patch immediately and review logs for signs of intrusion, noting that the scale of PHP's use across small businesses, schools and government agencies makes a swift, uniform response difficult. The incident adds to a string of software vulnerabilities that have rattled Australian institutions already working to rebuild public trust after a wave of high-profile breaches.
