PHP Foundation admits ‘structural failure’ delayed critical security fix

The PHP Foundation acknowledged a 'structural failure' that delayed a critical security fix for a bug that could let attackers take control of vulnerable servers. Government websites and online services were disrupted amid concerns over the flaw. The story is about open-source infrastructure maintenance rather than crypto assets, so it has little direct bearing on digital-asset prices, though it is a reminder of software supply-chain risk relevant to crypto platforms built on PHP.
