For server crashes, but not for RCEs. The only proven case of this I know of was with a specifically prepared PHP instance as honeypot that had an optimal attack surface and was done by Perplexity (another AI company). Outside of that there’s no credible large-scale RCE exploitation that’s any worse than the bugs that get fixed on a daily basis. It doesn’t even remotely justify the panic and media frenzy.

it was merely dangerously exploited by AI bros.
