- High Impact • Hosting Notice | Critical PHP Vulnerability
A critical vulnerability in the PHP application has been disclosed that affects servers running any version of PHP that has not been patched. This vulnerability allows an attacker full code execution on the targeted server that exposes that application to the internet. Afrihost is currently in the process of patching all Managed and Shared servers affected by the exploit. We strongly advise that any hosted website is updated to support PHP versions no lower than PHP 8.2.35 and that all patches available from official repositories are applied immediately. Details of the exploit have been disclosed by the PHP foundation and are viewable at the link below: https://thephp.foundation/blog/2026/10/21/todays-php-security-release-and-how-were-strengthening-php-security/
