PHP Foundation calls delayed critical patch a structural failure

  • —SlowMist found PHP traces on 793 of 1,488 crypto domains checked
  • —Cardano temporarily closed its members section to assess risk
  • —Coinbase and BitGo said they found no vulnerable PHP instances
  • —The flaw was first spotted in 2024 and re-reported on August 11
Why it matters: Crypto exchanges, DeFi platforms and wallet developers must audit infrastructure and patch PHP to prevent remote code execution attacks.
