The two critical PHP vulnerabilities known as PHP2Shell, first disclosed Oct. 20, affect every PHP installation serving web requests. PHP is the scripting language behind a large number of websites and web applications, and also runs inside platforms like WordPress and cPanel. The flaws can allow attackers to run code remotely on a web server without logging in.

Patches are available for supported versions, and the time to apply them is now. The GuidePoint Research and Intelligence Team (GRIT) lays out which systems to secure first, how to reduce exposure when an update has to wait, and how to check for signs of earlier exploitation.

This week's Pay-It-Forward nomination comes from Connor Dowling for Curtis Fechner, Sr. Incident Response Advisory Consultant at GuidePoint Security. In his nomination, Connor highlighted how Curtis embodies our core values:

"Always Challenge Ourselves & Have Fun Doing It!: Curtis has an uncommon ability to stay curious and constructive no matter what's thrown at him. Watching him talk through detections in real time, adapt when things may not go as expected and pivot without missing a beat is genuinely impressive. He never stops thinking about how to make the work better.

WOW Them: Curtis brings deep detection expertise. He doesn't just know where to look, he knows why. During a purple team engagement, he was consistently two steps ahead: calling out expected detections, explaining the forensic reasoning behind each event and keeping the blue team accountable to their own tooling. He came loaded with resources, sharing tools and techniques to keep collaboration moving forward."

Congratulations, Curtis!

The global population of active AI agents is projected to grow from 28.6 million in 2025 to 2.2 billion by 2030. Meanwhile, 33% of IT and security teams don't even know how many agents their company uses today.

In a new guest blog, Dave Lewis, Global Advisory CISO at 1Password explores why credential governance built for humans can't keep pace with agentic identity, and what adaptive access models need to look like before the gap widens.
