PHP flaws force European government sites and Rotterdam port offline

  • —The RCE flaws affect WordPress and other PHP-based platforms, with a severity score of 9.2
  • —Reports of active exploitation emerged before the patch was released
  • —EU CERT and UK NCSC urged firms to isolate or take down unpatched internet-facing apps
  • —About 75% of websites with an identifiable language run on PHP
Why it matters: PHP underpins most websites and payment gateways, so mass exploitation poses a risk to crypto infrastructure as well.
