The story so far
On 2026-10-22, Amazon said attackers tried to exploit two critical PHP vulnerabilities four days before the flaws were made public. The US National Security Agency has nicknamed the flaws PHP2Shell. The stakes are high because Wiz, the Alphabet-owned security firm that helped find the bugs, estimates that PHP powers about 70 percent of websites worldwide. Part of the reason is that WordPress is written primarily in PHP.
The next day, 2026-10-23, UK ministers said 32 government services were unavailable and four more were partly disrupted after the flaws were found. The same day, the nonprofit evaluators METR and Redwood Research reported that a pilot review of an internal OpenAI monitoring system had found several novel vulnerabilities.
On 2026-11-04, the French Blood Establishment said attackers had tampered with cold-storage settings after compromising one of its refrigeration suppliers. The service said its monitoring and alarm systems quickly flagged the anomalies, so no blood products or samples were lost.
