Amazon's Threat Intelligence team says it detected an attempt to exploit two critical PHP vulnerabilities on October 17th, using a honeypot monitoring system, days before an official patch was released this week. The flaws, tracked as CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, could let attackers remotely execute malicious code on PHP-based systems including WordPress sites. The PHP Foundation's executive director Elizabeth Barron says there's no known successful remote code execution so far, but urges all affected systems be updated immediately.
Security researchers and AI models independently discovered two critical vulnerabilities in PHP, the scripting language used by roughly 70% of websites, in mid-August. The flaws can let attackers directly access a site's underlying file system or database, and Amazon Web Services says they are already being widely exploited. The NSA has advised organizations to take unpatched PHP-based sites offline until they can apply fixes, prompting many commercial and government sites to go dark this week.
