The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) confirmed active exploitation of two critical PHP vulnerabilities known as PHP2Shell and ordered federal civilian agencies to patch their systems within 3 days. About 70% of internet-facing servers run PHP; some agencies and large companies have taken websites offline to remediate.
