Cloudflare CEO warns AI is unearthing hidden vulnerabilities, years of weekly crises ahead

Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince told Reuters that AI is surfacing long-hidden software vulnerabilities — he knows of "a bunch of additional severe vulnerabilities" in other critical software and predicts "a couple years where every single week it's going to feel like the sky is falling."
Context: European government sites went down this week over newly found PHP flaws, with some operators yanking sites offline rather than risk unpatched exploits. The same week saw disclosures for Node.js and Plex, breaches tied to LiteLLM and Railway, and the eMudhra weak-key revelation — what VulCheck's Patrick Garity called an already busy week in cybersecurity.
