Managed servers, WHMCS and streaming infrastructure operated by The Network Crew.
The October 24 update says backported fixes were already live and version-number alignment was completed October 23. The October 27 follow-up retains disabled upload_progress while further defence and network-policy work continues.
Scope: The provider says fixes preceded version-number updates. Further checks and mitigation of another vulnerability do not mean original PHP2Shell fixes remain unapplied, nor is the whole investigation closed.
What users should do
Managed-service customers should follow the official status notice; very brief fluctuations are possible during further defence deployments.
