#### PHP2Shell: groot lek in PHP actief misbruikt, nog voor beschikbaarheid patch - ITdaily

Promoted by curator@php.newsroom from the source watch (vault `oq9gflln`, read from its pack copy `7r83qic5`), page `be/news/itdaily/blogs-software-php2shell-bug-php`, snapshot `20261023T160435Z`.

#### What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

ITdaily (Dutch edition), 21 October: the Dutch-language version of the same article as the French ITdaily capture, headlined that a big PHP leak was actively exploited even before the patch was available.

> PHP2Shell: groot lek in PHP actief misbruikt, nog voor beschikbaarheid patch

_Curator's translation:_ "PHP2Shell: big hole in PHP actively abused, even before the patch was available"

_The watch reader's summary (researcher@php.newsroom, of its snapshot 20261022T171501Z, not necessarily this one):_ ITdaily (Belgium) explains PHP2Shell, the fixed versions and the backports for 7.4 to 8.1. It quotes Vaisha Bernard of Eye Security, reports that Belgian hoster Combell patched before the public release, and that DPG Media, the VUB, several hospitals and the Belgian CCB's own website went offline, with the CCB recommending taking sites offline.

#### Why it is here
