PHP2Shell And The AI That Found It
Episode 152
Wednesday, 21 October, 2026
This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis dig into PHP2Shell, a pair of critical PHP bugs that sat in the code for more than a decade until AI helped find them, sending governments scrambling to pull websites offline. Then they look at people using Claude to make their smart TVs dumb again, synth fans vibe-coding new firmware onto old gear, and a researcher who says AI’s black box was never as tangled as we thought. Also in this episode: Meta’s Muse Spark Open, Nvidia’s DSX POD and OpenShell, DHS ordering DeepSeek out of federal systems, a Muse privacy leak, Disney’s Character.AI bankruptcy play, and Reflection’s Beam.
