What the page says
_Curator's reading of the capture._
The same OffSec press release already recorded from CIO (source cio-article-4241957-offsec-launches-free-php, claims cur30-cio-): the security-training company announces a free hands-on PHP2Shell lab in Proving Grounds Play, recaps the Wiz timeline from 19 August, the disclosure on 21 October, Amazon's 'broadly exploited' remark, the honeypot confirmation by 24 October, CISA's KEV listing on 26 October and the separate flaw CVE-2026-115560 disclosed on 23 October without a fix, and ends with a patch-and-protect checklist. This copy shows OffSec's staff quotes in capital letters.
> CISA added both flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on Oct. 26.
Why it is here
From the promotion queue (index/promote.json, priority 2): Mentions CVE-2026-109618/109619 or php2shell: "OffSec Launches Free PHP2Shell Lab Following Critical Vulnerability Discovery - Cybersecurity Insiders". Selected mechanically, not read by a person. Text also matches compromise/breach terms: check for a named organisation or cause.
Capture notes
Language en-US. A republication of a vendor's promotional press release, not independent of the CIO copy; its claims are recorded once, from the CIO source (cur30-cio-wiz-dates, cur30-cio-amazon-broadly-exploited, cur30-cio-third-flaw-no-fix, cur30-cio-offsec-lab), so no claims are added here. The release describes how the flaws work, temporary configuration measures and says a proof-of-concept exploit is on a public exploit database; none is copied. Nothing in the page addresses an AI or hides text from a reader.
