Two critical vulnerabilities in the widely used PHP engine could let attackers execute commands without authentication, potentially leaving no obvious signs in application logs. With about 275,000 IP addresses running vulnerable PHP services1 and exploit attempts in the millions, security teams need answers to three questions: Are we affected? What should we do? How do we detect and stop an attack?
Join CrowdStrike research and product experts for a practical look at PHP2Shell. They’ll share findings from CrowdStrike’s research and clear steps to find affected systems, apply fixes, and detect suspicious activity.
Frontier AI-assisted research uncovered PHP2Shell in code that had been in every PHP release for a decade. With the time from vulnerability discovery to exploitation getting shorter, we’ll also discuss why traditional vulnerability management is under pressure and what teams can do now to prepare.
