AI-assisted researchers have uncovered two critical PHP vulnerabilities that could put as many as 70% of websites at risk, prompting an emergency patch and warnings that attackers may exploit the flaws before organisations can update their systems. The vulnerabilities, identified as CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 and collectively dubbed “php2shell”, allow attackers to execute code remotely on affected PHP systems. That could provide an entry point into the wider networks hosting those machines, researchers said. The PHP Foundation, which maintains the open-source programming language, urged website operators to apply the patch immediately or take their services offline until they can do so.…
