PHP runs roughly 70% of the web. Scanners have counted around 884,000 internet facing hosts still on PHP 8.1 or older, plus 740,000 reporting no version at all. Researchers expect mass exploitation within 15 minutes of the patch going public. If you run anything on PHP, patch it now.

Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! 🫂🤙🏻💜

Heartbleed was bad, but the new PHP exploit (PHP2Shell) is wilder.

PHP powers ~70% of the web, and this flaw allows full server takeover + memory leaks going back to 2004.

Worse/Better: AI agents can now exploit or patch this at machine speed. It's a real time arms race. Stay safe out there.
