php2shell (CVE-2026-109618) is fixed in 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35.
If you share a Herd or Valet site through a tunnel, read the version off the URL, not your terminal.

LocalCan 3.2 is here! Adds a design feedback loop for humans and agents.
Snapshots can now collect feedback. Share a link, and others can pin comments right on the page.
Then hand it to your coding agent: it reads the comments, fixes the design, replies, and resolves. If you build prototypes with AI, this is how you get real feedback on them.
Snapshots are now available on the Free plan!
Deploy a static copy of your app to LocalCan so the link keeps working when you are offline - comes in handy when you want to share your work with folks in a different time zone.
LocalCan 3.0 Beta 10 is out, and it ships a Free plan.
Put localhost on a Public URL in one click:
→ 60-min sessions, 1 GB/month
→ No credit card
→ No interstitial warning page for your visitors, ever
→ MCP server included, so your AI agent can open and manage tunnels too
Unlimited .local domains, automatic HTTPS, and traffic inspection are in the Free plan too.
LocalCan 3.0 Beta 9 is out!
Now you can ask your AI agent to publish a Snapshot (website, prototype, etc.) and set a password to restrict access. Plus improvements and fixes 👇
Access Control is live in LocalCan 3.0 Beta 8.
Set a password, secret link, or IP address rules on any URL. Three things make it different from the existing basic auth:
→ It runs on LocalCan's servers, not your machine. The password page answers while your Mac is asleep.
→ It covers the Snapshot at the same URL. Tunnel offline, prototype still up, still protected.
→ Good looking password page, not a grey browser popup.
Teams get reusable access policies, so the same rule can be applied to multiple links instead of being re-typed per project.
Designers sharing prototypes with clients are turning into the main use case for this, which I did not plan for when I started building tunnels.
LocalCan 3.0 Beta 8 is released! What's new:
Access Control:
Add password protection, secret links, or IP rules to any Public URL. Enforced server-side, so your protection stays active even when your laptop is off. Works with Snapshots too. Available in subscription plans.
Redesigned Public URL Panel:
Clearly see what runs on our servers vs. your local machine.
