What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

Yahoo Finance: PHP patches the critical flaw hitting 70% of websites, and Cloudflare and other stocks rise. The flaws were patched in four simultaneous releases (8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, 8.2.35). It adds, per sansec.io, that CVE-2026-109618 also carries a Heartbleed-style memory leak able to expose passwords, session tokens, API keys and TLS private keys from other server requests, so the combination of code execution and passive credential harvesting is particularly dangerous for shared hosting running WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and similar.

> The flaws, collectively dubbed PHP2Shell (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), were patched in four simultaneous releases: versions 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35.
