The PHP security team have advised of an upcoming critical security release scheduled for Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at 14:00 UTC (Thursday, October 22, 2026, at 1:00 am AEDT). This release covers two critical vulnerabilities, both rated 9.2 out of 10 on the CVSS scale. Full details have not yet been released regarding the versions impacted or the nature of the vulnerabilities, only their critical nature. More details on the impacted versions and recommended steps will be available as soon as we have more information. You can see the official PHP team's post here: https://www.php.net/archive/2026.php#2026-10-20-1 Once we have confirmation that a patch has been released, we will be applying it ASAP.

Our vendors are in the process of distributing update packages, and we are applying them as they become available. CloudLinux has confirmed they will be back-porting security patches for all PHP versions between 5.2, through to 8.5. Additional mitigations to protect customer websites are in place across our shared hosting and fully managed VPS infrastructure, as per the recommended advice from the PHP Foundation. We will provide additional updates as updates are available and applied.

CloudLinux have confirmed patches for PHP versions 5.2 - 8.5. They are currently working on publishing these so that we can deploy them across all shared hosting and fully managed VPS services. We will deploy updates automatically and update this status notice. In the mean time our [file upload mitigation](https://status.ventraip.com.au/notices/il20xncv5j7g38kj-temporary-file-upload-restrictions-for-customer-websites) is in place to keep websites secure. We expect patches to be published and deployed within the next few hours.

CloudLinux has begun publishing some patched versions of PHP. We're currently rolling these out and testing. We will update this status with confirmed updates once we complete our testing.
- investigating · Oct 22, 2026, 02:17 AM UTC
CloudLinux has now published all patched PHP versions from 5.2 - 8.5. These are being successfully rolled out to our shared hosting and fully managed servers. The updates are still in progress and will take some time to reach all servers. We will update this status notice when all servers are updated and will remove the file upload mitigation once patched versions are deployed on all servers. There is no action required from customers. Patched versions of PHP will automatically be applied to all cPanel services already using PHP 5.2 - 8.5.

Please note our provider CloudLinux applies these patches as a backport, retaining the existing version numbers. This causes the displayed version number to appear lower than the official PHP version patched. (for example, ea-php84 is 8.4.26, not 8.4.27) No further action is required for Web Hosting customers to protect against CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 More information on this is available via the [CloudLinux blog here](https://blog.cloudlinux.com/php-cve-2026-109618-and-cve-2026-109619) under the "How to confirm the fix" update. Another method is to use "php -v" within the terminal of your cPanel service which will show the UTC time the build was created which should show an update from today after conversion to AEST. We are continuing to closely monitor the servers as services fully stabilise.

Due to the upcoming critical PHP security release, we have preemptively implemented additional security measures for PHP file uploads against our hosting servers, and Fully Managed VPS services. This means that if your website has a form that supports file attachments/uploads, you may encounter issues with it. We do apologise for the inconvenience this may cause you and your clients. Ensuring the security and stability of our hosting servers remains our number one priority. Once we have received a patch from the PHP team, we will remove the additional security measures and update this status.

CloudLinux has published security patches for PHP versions 5.2 and newer, and our team is currently working to roll out these updates across our hosting servers.

- resolved · Oct 22, 2026, 03:44 AM UTC
The PHP security updates have been successfully deployed, and the temporary restrictions on PHP file uploads have been lifted. All file upload functionality is now operating normally.

This will also include Change of Registrant forms where documentation is requested, and attachments on support requests. We thank all our partners for their understanding, and once the restrictions are removed, we will update this status.

We are applying a critical patch to our VPS nodes now, this is to ensure the security and stability of our VPS products. We believe that VPS services that are on these nodes should only be impacted for <15 minutes at this stage. We will update this status once the maintenance is completed.

Our infrastructure team is still applying the patch to our VPS nodes. This is taking longer than expected. You should not see any interruptions to your service whilst we continue our work at this stage. We will provide more updates as they come and as patches are applied.

The current maintenance has now been completed. We thank our customers for their patience and if you notice anything not quite right, please contact our technical support team.
