CDNetworks Releases WAF Protection for php2shell (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619).

CDNetworks Releases WAF Protection for php2shell (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619). Reference: CDNetwork Cloud Security Last updated on October 22, 2026 On October 21, 2026, two critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities in the PHP core runtime, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 (collectively dubbed "php2shell"), were disclosed. Both score 9.2 on CVSS v4.0 and could let unauthenticated attackers execute arbitrary code, access sensitive data, or disrupt services. What's affected * The flaws are memory-handling bugs in PHP itself, so any PHP-based site running an affected version may be exposed, including WordPress and Drupal. * Attacks can be triggered via specially crafted HTTP requests, such as multipart/form-data uploads involving PHP's session.upload_progress feature. Vendor protection * CDNetworks released WAF Rule ID 9657 to detect and block exploit attempts. * Customers should confirm the rule is enabled and that the WAF is in Block mode. Those in monitoring-only mode should contact technical support. Recommended actions * Identify affected assets: check PHP versions across web servers, PHP-FPM, Apache, container images, CLI scripts and long-running processes, especially PHP 8.1 and earlier unsupported versions. * Patch: upgrade to PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 or 8.2.35, as applicable. * Verify: restart services, rebuild container images, and confirm the version used by running production processes, since php -v may differ from what serves web requests. * Interim protection: restrict unnecessary public access and keep the WAF in Block mode. Do not rely on disable_functions or open_basedir as mitigations. Bottom line: a WAF reduces exposure, but upgrading to a patched PHP runtime is the only complete fix.
