AI is surfacing software vulnerabilities faster than organizations can patch them:
- The US NVD logged 45,207 flaws by late July 2026, nearly matching record-setting 2025.
- Google fixed 433 Chrome bugs in one July update vs 11 a year earlier; Oracle patched 1,449 vs 309.
- This week's PHP emergency forced banks, airlines and governments offline over 2 AI-found flaws.
- Exploited flaws haven't risen yet since most bugs are self-found — Google found 401 of its 433.
- Unit 42 estimates over a third of 22M internet-exposed systems vulnerable to the PHP flaws run unpatchable software, with upgrades taking months.
