Is Voicenotes down?

We increased security protections in response to critical PHP vulnerabilities CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619. The additional WAF restrictions briefly affected authentication and some editing/API functionality due to false-positive security rules. The affected rules have been adjusted and functionality is restored. PHP security patches have been deployed across our servers, with additional mitigations retained for the related CVE-2026-115560 advisory.

We experienced a production API outage after a database schema migration on a large MySQL table caused increased database load and connection buildup. The RDS instance reached its maximum connection limit, resulting in Too many connections errors and 500 responses across the API. Application and background worker services were temporarily stopped to prevent new database connections. Existing connections cleared, services were restarted, and the API returned to normal operation. We are reviewing our production migration process and database safeguards to reduce the risk of similar incidents.
