Sophos revised an earlier alert: telemetry showed scans and failed attempts, not successful compromises of CVE-2026-109618 or CVE-2026-109619.
CVE-2026-115560 needs a rare session setup; the foundation reports no confirmed compromises of the two bugs patched Wednesday.
Maintainers say updating is the only fix, with the highest risk on Apache mod_php.

The open-source scanner forces a PHP out-of-memory condition instead of trusting version banners.

CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, both CVSS 9.2, are fixed in 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, and 8.2.35.

The authors say paths dating to PHP 5.4.0 yield RCE, including on WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla.

Fixed builds are PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, and 8.2.35; watchTowr reports no observed attacks.
