  • PHP runs most of the web. On 21 October 2026 it got a critical security hole called PHP2Shell. It is two bugs inside PHP itself (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), both rated 9.2 out of 10. An attacker needs no login. Your code can be perfect and the server is still exposed. https://t.co/I9ZuRNE…
