> If you go looking for the public record of what Mythos actually found you land on roughly 40 CVEs, and 28 of those are Firefox and 9 of them are wolfSSL. A browser and a cryptography library. There’s no PHP in that list, no CMS, nothing that resembles the web most people actually use.

How does one arrive at the idea that "browsers" is a category less representative of "the web most people actually use" than "PHP applications"?

Anthropic's own criterion, from the Glasswing page: "systems that represent a very large portion of the world's shared cyberattack surface."

A Firefox exploit would be targeted, one user at a time, and you still need delivery. A pre-auth RCE in the CMS behind 40% of the web does fit that criteria better right?
