PHP sites behind Cloudflare already have an initial set of WAF rules deployed for the known exploit vectors in these vulnerabilities. The rules are available to all customers, including free.
We are seeing early attacks emerging and are updating mitigations as new vectors show up.
This is a STOPGAP only. Patch as soon as @ThePHPF releases the update at 14:00 UTC today.

Just watched the @netflix Instadocs about the @OpenAI cyberattack on @huggingface. Super disappointing, as they went for maximum anthropomorphism of the technology and full doomer mode.
I spent more than two hours with them trying to correct all their mistakes and ground this in reality, explaining that agents are technological systems, not aliens. But it looks like the drive to scare people for maximum views was too strong.
Also, they didn’t mention the lack of containment and monitoring of the agents, how closed-model safeguards blocked our defensive work, or how we defended ourselves with AI using an open model. And that we still lack a lot of information and transparency, including full agent traces and that companies need to remain accountable for what their agents do.
It ends up being a fun sci-fi movie though!

WordCamp Asia 2027 has opened its call for emcees. Emcees welcome attendees, introduce speakers, and keep sessions running to schedule across the event. It is a visible way to contribute to one of the largest WordPress community gatherings in the region, and a good fit for anyone confident presenting to a live audience. Applications close November 27. wp.me/phbdcX-1OE

You don't need to write code to contribute to WordPress. First-timers at Contributor Day have answered 2 forum questions, suggested 6 translated strings, or fixed an outdated paragraph in the documentation. If you use WordPress, you already know more about it than most people. Here's where to start. wp.me/phbdcX-1NL

Technical moats are mostly over at this point. If you’re building something that is meant to be durable, the only moats now are:
• Proprietary data
• Network effects
• A physical component
Every morning, my AI assistant Dot checks my emails, Todoist, and WhatsApp, identifies what needs attention, and gets things done for me.
This is what having a personal AI assistant looks like. 🤖

ChatGPT Ads review
We spent $477 on ChatGPT ads over 6 weeks and got 19,154 impressions, 370 clicks and 0 conversions. I've analyzed what went wrong, and why I think ChatGPT ads are a bad idea for anyone selling to a targeted audience.
