‼️ PHP Releases Emergency Patches for PHP2Shell Flaws Threatening Millions of Web Servers
Details: cybersecuritynews.com/php-re…
PHP has released emergency security updates for two critical vulnerabilities that could let unauthenticated attackers run code on vulnerable web servers. Tracked as CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, and collectively called PHP2Shell, the flaws affect PHP’s handling of memory during web requests.
The PHP project rates both vulnerabilities 9.2 out of 10 under CVSS 4.0. Administrators should update PHP as soon as possible. The fixed releases are PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, and 8.2.35. The vulnerabilities affect earlier versions in those branches.

🚨 BREAKING: PHP is warning admins to prepare for emergency security updates tomorrow to fix two critical vulnerabilities rated CVSS 9.2.
However, security researchers at @watchtowrcyber rate the flaws CVSS 10.0 and say they are RCE vulnerabilities affecting PHP 5 through 8.
Information about the vulnerabilities has reportedly leaked ahead of disclosure.
No known exploitation in the wild.

#OpenAI'll begin adding "textGrain", subtle changes in the pattern of AI selected words, to let software look for an invisible watermark, in response to the EU AI Act requiring #AI content to be identifiable in a machine-readable way.

I wouldn’t be surprised if #AI provenance eventually became a subtle SEO signal too. Remember Google Authorship? Basically that, but for human/AI originality.

The front page of @ScotNational tomorrow is what every UK newspaper front page should look like.
But, as throughout the entirety of the genocide, it stands alone with a moral backbone, not afraid to tell the truth about the horrors the rest of the press whitewash.
