Somebody has leaked CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 in PHP before the patch is out.

@GossiTheDog welp, at least I have that day off from work

[dirkhh@social.afront.org]

@GossiTheDog
Oh fun. EOD Thursday (at least in Europe).
And they couldn't release this earlier in the week because...?
(hey, at least they aren't aiming for 17:00 EDT on Friday, so let's count that as a win)

[sephster@fosstodon.org]

@Andres4NY @GossiTheDog that's what I was wondering

@Andres4NY
@GossiTheDog

I only know of the cited THAT, but no WHAT, no further details. Not even under any TLP-code.

[fencepost@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog so concern is that anyone sitting on vulns will now rush to exploit before they can be patched?

Seems like this kind of thing could also be used without real vulnerabilities (but with a bunch of honeypots in place) to "shake the bushes" for any vulns that are being held.

@GossiTheDog nice

PHP releasing patches tomorrow for CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619

Fixed versions will be 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, 8.2.35

All others are end-of-life but are still vulnerable - the vulns date back to versions from 2004 onwards.

@GossiTheDog Oh jeeze, that will probably impact a whole bunch of appliances without a remediation path.

[sandorspruit@mastodon.nl]

@GossiTheDog Right. We had nothing to do anyways. Sigh 🤨

[piggo@gs.rypak.cz]

@GossiTheDog juicy, thanks

we have over 100 prod php servers, some difficult to reach for updates ...

[khoos@infosec.exchange]

@sandorspruit @GossiTheDog so much for tomorrow

[sandorspruit@mastodon.nl]

@KHoos @GossiTheDog Had a nice and quiet day planned with some meaningful jobs to do. Oh, well ‍️

[yngmar@social.tchncs.de]

@piggo @GossiTheDog Don't worry, the first to break in will usually patch it for you.

[emd@cosocial.ca]

@GossiTheDog I had read that 8.0 and 8.1 would also be getting patches, is that not correct?

[privateger@plasmatrap.com]

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social oh god this will be bad

[wdormann@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog
Looks like Calif may have a PoC called php2shell that works against WordPress.

[derickr@phpc.social]

@emd @GossiTheDog Not by the PHP team, but third parties might.

@wdormann @GossiTheDog Would be neat if you guys could let the patches come out before you tell everyone how to exploit it given there is nothing anyone can do.
