PHP has released 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35 to fix two critical remote code execution flaws (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, nicknamed php2shell). Who is at risk, what to do if your site runs PHP 8.1 or older, and how to protect it today.

I spoke with several agencies, but most of them tried to convince me that I need a new website, because I'm not using the correct plugins.

"Our site runs on CraftCMS. One day, I started receiving upgrade warnings, but the original developer who wasn't available anymore. I brought in PHPFixer and he handled the upgrade smoothly. He manages our maintenance every quarter — zero downtime in 5 months. He's reliable, easy to work with, and we've had zero downtime since."
"We inherited a legacy Laravel project with no tests and inconsistent code. I convinced the management to give PHPFixer a go: within 6 weeks we had a clean codebase, basic test coverage, and a working CI pipeline. That made a huge difference to our team's confidence and velocity."
