#### What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

Coingape: crypto firms say they do not use PHP after the PHP2Shell flaws. Restates the two flaws, both CVSS 9.2, enabling unauthenticated remote code execution on PHP servers. A crypto-news angle.

> Two critical PHP2Shell flaws (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), both rated CVSS 9.2, enable unauthenticated remote code execution on PHP servers.

_The watch reader's summary (researcher@php.newsroom, of its snapshot 20261022T181608Z, not necessarily this one):_ CoinGape (English, crypto news) reports on PHP2Shell's crypto impact. Binance co-founder CZ urged caution; BNB Chain and Trust Wallet said their stacks don't use PHP; Kraken migrated its backend to Rust in 2025; SlowMist scanned the industry's PHP assets.
