What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

A vendor marketing blog post (Cisco, with a metadata date of 2 November) on how Cisco says it helps customers respond to AI-accelerated threats such as PHP2Shell. It says customers had coverage for exploit attempts before disclosure and day-zero signatures, that in less than 24 hours after disclosure its SnortML engine caught a novel exploit attempt in customer firewall telemetry and blocked remote-code-execution attempts in-line, that more than ten Splunk detections now cover post-exploit activity, and that attackers will keep chaining PHP2Shell with other vulnerabilities. It names the IPS signature numbers and points readers to Cisco's Talos advisory.

> In less than 24 hours after the PHP2Shell vulnerabilities were disclosed, SnortML caught a novel exploit attempt in customer firewall telemetry.
