    PHP Security Update for Web, Agency and cPanel Hosting

    Our team is aware about ongoing PHP security vulnerabilities CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 (php2shell). After conducting tests in our hosting environments, we have confirmed out platform is not vulnerable php2shell. We additionally implemented an extra layer of protection to ensure attack vectors cannot be accessed. Although our environments are not affected, we will be rolling out patched PHP versions across our infrastructure. No actions are required from client side. We'll provide further updates soon. Thank you for your patience.

What to do right now

  • Check the provider's own status page. Open Hostinger's official status page ↗
  • Don't restart everything. If the outage is upstream (cloud provider, CDN, auth provider), redeploying your own service usually won't help and may make recovery slower.
  • Communicate early. Even a one-line update to your users referencing the upstream incident reduces support load dramatically.
  • Watch this page. We post each new vendor update and source as it lands. Bookmark or share the URL with your team.

GlobalOutageMap aggregates publicly reported signals. We never claim authoritative status, always cross-check the provider's official channel before making business decisions.
