Dated source revision

Cloudflare's newly inserted 23 October update says the PHP project published an informational advisory for related CVE-2026-115560 in the session upload progress feature. It says this vulnerability affects fully patched releases, including PHP 8.5.12, and is expected to be fixed in the next regular PHP release. This checkpoint has not independently read the linked PHP advisory: these are Cloudflare's claims in the selected source, first observed by this collector at 16:06 UTC. The page metadata is a claimed edit time, not an observed release or exploit time.

Cloudflare also claims its WAF protects against known exploit attempts for sites using PHP's default upload progress field name. It explicitly says sites that changed session.upload_progress.name are not covered by that WAF rule, and identifies one of its previously listed PHP rules as the protection. This is a vendor statement about defensive coverage, not a measured number of protected sites, attacks blocked or successful compromises. The wording supplies no event-specific sensor, numerator, denominator or observation window for attempts. It provides no basis to attribute attacker activity to AI. OpenAI's earlier documented AI-assisted defensive discovery/coordination remains a separate claim.

Visible text was compared by ordered HTML text chunks after excluding script, style and SVG content and normalising whitespace. That is not a rendered-browser inspection. No public article is changed on this checkpoint.
