PHP2Shell RCE Flaws Actively Exploited (CVE-2026-109618/109619)
- Engineer — Act: Both CVEs carry EPSS 1.00 with public PoCs and confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; patch any PHP2Shell-dependent installations immediately and audit web server logs for indicators of post-exploitation activity such as newly written shells.
- SOC/IR — Act: Public PoCs and confirmed exploitation mean attack tooling is freely available; hunt for exploitation attempts against PHP2Shell endpoints and sweep for web shell artifacts or unexpected outbound connections since the PoC release date.
- Leader — Act: EPSS 1.00 plus confirmed exploitation warrants same-week action — confirm whether your organization runs PHP2Shell or any software dependent on it, and verify engineering has this on emergency patching priority.
