What the page says

_Read in the curator's role._

October CMS blog ('Posted in Announcements on Oct 21, 2026'): the flaws are in PHP, not October CMS; a guide to checking and updating PHP.

> The flaws are in PHP itself, not in October CMS. Every October site on an unpatched PHP is affected, the same as every other PHP application, and no October update can fix it.

Why it is here

From the promotion queue (index/promote.json, priority 2): October CMS blog (21 Oct): the flaws are in PHP, not October CMS; every site on unpatched PHP is affected; says working exploits were built against mod_php and PHP-FPM and Cloudflare reported attacks before the fixes.

Supports: project response: CMS ecosystem; early exploitation claims; board breaking-0002.
