How is the security level of PHP in 2023? (lemm.ee)

In the early 2000s, everyone in my bubble knew that PHP was a security nightmare, only seconded by Flash. In the meantime, Adobe gave up on Flash, but PHP is still alive and rocking.

How did that happen? Did PHP get some serious makeover? Do developers just not care?

Sure, I guess I should have phrased that as "any additional server software beyond the webserver itself", but it's kind of a mouthful. And people would still get after me in the comments, because actually, that's technically true for CGI as well, although the poor performance makes it a no-go for anyone doing anything commercially.
