PHP Vulnerability

Two critical vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP, the programming language powering approximately 70% of websites globally.

The potential impact has been serious enough for organisations to temporarily take websites offline while security measures are reviewed and implemented.

So, what should businesses be doing?

If your website uses PHP, including through platforms such as WordPress, it’s important to establish whether your website or hosting environment is affected and ensure the appropriate security updates have been applied.

The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has issued guidance recommending that organisations take immediate action to assess their exposure.
