Identified - We have recently been made aware of critical vulnerabilities affecting all php releases from 5.x onwards.

The php foundation will be aiming to release patches for supported versions at 2026-10-21 14:00 UTC. It is expected that backported fixes will be made available for older versions through the usual repositories. You can read the blog post here: https://www.php.net/archive/2026.php#2026-10-20-1
