PHP Foundation reportedly has one full-time staffer amid security patching scramble

Two serious PHP flaws set off a patching scramble, Reuters reported. PHP Foundation executive director Elizabeth Barron told the outlet she is its only full-time staffer, alongside 14 mostly part-time contractors. She said the PHP project is receiving nearly twice as many proposed code changes as a year ago, but its contributors have not doubled. Barron called PHP “incredibly under-funded” and said the foundation had no evidence of exploitation before disclosure or on patched sites.
