The Dutch National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) temporarily took its website NCSC.NL offline as a precaution due to vulnerabilities discovered in PHP. The organization says it is awaiting a security patch from the PHP security team, expected at 16:00 Dutch time, after which it plans to publish an advisory within an hour. The NCSC has also set up a GitHub page with technical details and is compiling an inventory of PHP-related software products affected by the flaws.
