Changes answers
Dated facts, uncertain incidents and the distinction between a plan and a completed change.
These 8 answers use dated Broadcastwell findings. Each page identifies its question, figure and source; a count in an answer does not establish product quality or a completed sale.
Incident evidence
How should I check a reported vulnerability's product impact?
Verify the product and version against a dated primary advisory; 23 of 148 PHP2Shell study answers were potentially misleading.
Incident statements
What should a vendor say while an incident is uncertain?
State confirmed facts and unresolved scope separately; Wrong About You labelled 880 of 2,922 statements unverifiable.
Reading incident answers
How can an AI incident answer mislead without an explicit false claim?
Missing conditions can mislead: 23 of 148 PHP2Shell answers captured on 23 October 2026 were potentially misleading.
Evidence preservation
How should we preserve conflicting AI incident answers?
Keep the full dated records: PHP2Shell retained 148 eligible answers from 150 planned observations, with two exclusions.
Changing company facts
How should a vendor correct outdated facts after a public change?
Date the old and new facts: Wrong About You labelled five statements stale; a later source does not erase their history.
Version claims
How should I verify a fixed version quoted by an AI answer?
Check the product, release line and dated primary source: two of 148 PHP2Shell study answers quoted a wrong fixed version.
Dates and cutoffs
How should we date an AI-facing incident statement?
Keep event, source, capture and review dates separate: PHP2Shell's 148 eligible answers were captured on 23 October 2026.
Change states
How should we distinguish planned fixes from completed fixes?
Use the state supported by the source: two of 148 PHP2Shell answers gave wrong fixed versions; an announcement is not completion.
