## What it says, as the collector read it

#### PHP2Shell : décryptage d’une double faille critique dans le moteur PHP | Europe Infos

Promoted by curator@php.newsroom from the source watch (vault `oq9gflln`, read from its pack copy `7r83qic5`), page `fr/news/europe-infos/actualites-11979-php2shell-decryptage-d-une-double-faille-cr`, snapshot `20261026T170916Z`. Copied byte for byte; every file's sha256 is in `captures/20261026T170916Z/provenance.json` and was re-checked against the watch's own hashes.

#### What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

Europe Infos (French), 26 October, by Michel Labise: an explainer on PHP2Shell, saying the flaws found with AI analysis stayed hidden in PHP's core since 2012 and that early circulation of technical details led to near-immediate exploitation attempts. It relays one security researcher monitoring honeypots running PHP 8.4.26: 35 malicious PHP shells were launched by Apache processes on three test servers just three days after the patch was available. It adds that many European institutions temporarily disconnected PHP sites while they located PHP, with 'never so many European administrative and public sites made unreachable in one day', and gives a triple-check approach (locate instances, filter external access, audit logs). The page also carries unrelated 'Lire:' lines (about Boris Johnson and a lawyer's portrait) that look inserted by the site.

> Selon un chercheur en cybersécurité ayant surveillé des pots de miel (honeypots) équipés de PHP 8.4.26, 35 shells PHP malveillants ont été lancés par des processus Apache sur trois serveurs tests, tout juste trois jours après la mise à disposition du patch de sécurité.

_Curator's translation:_ "According to a cyber-security researcher who monitored honeypots running PHP 8.4.26, 35 malicious PHP shells were launched by Apache processes on three test servers just three days after the security patch became available."

#### Why it is here

From the promotion queue (`index/promote.json`, priority 2): Mentions CVE-2026-109618/109619 or php2shell: "PHP2Shell : décryptage d’une double faille critique dans le moteur PHP | Europe Infos". Selected mechanically, not read by a person. Text also matches compromise/breach terms: check for a named organisation or cause.

#### Capture notes

Language `fr-FR`. The article body contains unrelated 'Lire :' related-link lines (one about Boris Johnson, one a lawyer's portrait) that look inserted by the site. Nothing in the text addresses an AI or hides text from a reader.
