⚠️ Critical alert for anyone who owns a website
A newly discovered PHP vulnerability called PHP2Shell is being actively exploited by attackers. PHP is the server-side language that powers most websites, and this flaw allows hackers to take control of a web server without needing any login or password.
What you need to know:
If your server is running PHP 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, or 8.5, a patch is available and you should update immediately. If you are running PHP 8.1 or older, there is no official patch, and your server needs to be upgraded.
Not sure which PHP version your site runs? That is exactly what we can find out for you.
At IDL Web Inc., we handle server-level PHP upgrades and security configurations for web hosting clients. If you need help, reach out today.
