PHP2Shell: One Upload, Full Server

How many servers are one malformed upload away from leaking your secrets? PHP2Shell is a pair of critical flaws that let unauthenticated attackers run code remotely on PHP installations serving web requests. Because PHP runs roughly 70% of the world’s websites and the bugs fire before any application code executes, even a fully patched WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla site is exposed until the PHP underneath is updated, and attackers are probing for it. Calif, a security research firm working under OpenAI’s Patch the Planet initiative, found the bugs first on August 1 and reported them to PHP on August 11. Wiz Research found them separately. - Two critical flaws in PHP itself. CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 sit in the core engine, so even secure application code can’t protect a vulnerable server. An unauthenticated remote attacker can read a PHP worker’s memory (passwords, tokens, API keys) and, in some cases, run code on the server.
