  Cloudflare's CEO told Reuters he knows of a bunch of additional severe vulnerabilities that are present in other pieces of critical software and said I think we're going to have a couple years where every single week it's going to feel like the sky is falling,

  Speaking in an interview on Thursday for a Reuters story on the PHP flaws, Prince warned that AI-discovered bugs in other critical software are still to surface. Reuters ran the piece on Oct 24 with security researchers who expect a lot more fire drills for anything that's internet exposed.
