Two critical security vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP, a popular technology used to run websites and content management systems. Palo Alto Networks researchers identified over 22.6 million exposed instances on the internet that could be vulnerable. The vulnerabilities received a severity score of 9.2 out of 10 and could allow attackers to execute malicious code remotely on servers. Some organizations running essential services have chosen to take their websites offline as a precaution. Lee Klarich, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Palo Alto Networks, said organizations should prioritize the most exposed systems and deploy immediate defenses while updating software.
