What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

DeXpose, 21 October: how security teams should assess and contain the reported PHP2Shell RCEs. Both flaws are scored 9.2 under CVSS v4.0; the piece is defender guidance, advising teams to look for PHP worker crashes, abnormal restarts, process execution from PHP service accounts and unexpected outbound connections, and noting that a quiet log does not prove exploitation is impossible. The curator did not copy the page's description of how the flaws are reached.

> In the same window, investigate PHP worker crashes, abnormal restarts, process execution from PHP service accounts, and unexpected outbound connections.
