Current re-audit: Official response verified · Research date: 2026-10-27

The October 23 update confirms deployment of fixed PHP 8.2–8.5 releases. Imunify and IPS mitigate exploitation on PHP 8.1 and earlier; the article distinguishes this from patching PHP itself.

Scope: The assigned PHP branch is not changed automatically. Statements about unaffected DNS and email concern separate services.

What users should do

Check the PHP branch assigned to the site. Work with a developer to make legacy-dependent sites compatible with a supported branch and migrate.
