@joeress many years ago when the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySql, PHP) was incredibly popular, PHP was ridiculed as being poor at security, and an easy target for exploiting due to how database queries were handled in most "introduction to PHP" tutorials. At the time, I was fond of saying "show me a programming language, and I'll write an easily exploitable query with it", because it wasn't the language causing the problems.

the low barrier to entry afforded by LAMP, meant that just about *anyone* with an interest in coding could follow some tutorials and have a functioning web app (with exploitable database calls) in a matter of minutes/hours. Unless that interest in coding also includes a bit of study on what makes code 'secure', expect a shit ton of exploits.

AI has lowered that barrier to entry even more, and opened the flood gates of shit code.
