Cloudflare CEO says AI agents burden websites and PHP2SHELL was likely exploited before disclosure

Cloudflare◼ CEO Matthew Prince said on the Q3 earnings call that nation-state actors and criminals likely exploited PHP2SHELL and the recently disclosed PHP vulnerabilities for years before disclosure, and that Cloudflare is reviewing its logs for evidence of past use. No CVE identifiers or affected versions are given in the article. Prince also predicted agentic bot traffic will reach 1000 times human traffic, which he argued will strain container-based architectures. Defenders should review their own logs for signs of exploitation of the PHP flaws.
