Researchers have demonstrated Node2Shell (CVE-2026-111497), an RCE exploit that targets Node.js builds via malformed Brotli streams. The flaw triggers an out-of-bounds write during decoding. A fix is available; update to Node.js 22.x, 24.x, or 26.x. thehackernews.com/2026/10/re…

If you run PHP on your stack, drop what you are doing and patch. Threat actors hit honeypots with PHP2Shell exploits days before disclosure. It affects PHP 7.x and 8.x, requires no authentication, and leaves almost no logs. thehackernews.com/2026/10/so…

#PHP #Security alert: Researchers confirmed a medium-severity memory bug in PHP's upload-progress feature, but they didn't demonstrate remote code execution. Check your PHP version, apply security patches, and review your configuration. #Vulnerability jackalsyn.com/posts/php-up-2…
