Self-managed VPS
- Response status
- Customer patching and restart required
- Response information checked
- 2026-10-27
Current re-audit: Official response verified · Research date: 2026-10-27
Zooku requires customers to update PHP and restart running processes on self-managed VPS. Automatic-update settings alone do not verify remediation.
Scope: Disabling session.upload_progress is a temporary mitigation and does not replace complete fixes for both CVEs.
What users should do
Install patched packages, restart relevant processes and verify changelogs and running builds. Consider migration from unsupported PHP.
