Critical PHP flaws “PHP2Shell” (CVE-2026-109618 / 109619) allow remote code execution
Two critical flaws, both rated CVSS 9.2, let an unauthenticated attacker run code on servers running PHP. Fixes are in PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35, and the PHP project published backports for 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1. Patch internet-facing servers first, restart PHP-FPM or the web server, check the version, and review logs for signs of compromise.
