#### What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

Startup Fortune (English), written 25 October by Ron Patel: Cloudflare's CEO says worse bugs than PHP2Shell are already being patched. It says the flaws went public through GitHub security advisories at 13:34 UTC on 21 October, patches the same day, millions of exploit attempts within hours, and quotes Matthew Prince telling Reuters that Cloudflare knows of other serious vulnerabilities in critical software now being patched and expects 'a year or two where every week it feels like the sky is falling', because AI-assisted research is finding bugs that sat unaudited for years. It cites CybelAngel's tracking of roughly 2.24 million internet-facing PHP hosts, 59% of them on end-of-life versions, and watchTowr's Jake Knott on the first in-the-wild attempts. It wrongly says Wiz and Calif 'disclosed' the flaws on 20 October.
