When I go to conferences and see everyone asking for your LinkedIn I realize I live in a Twitter bubble.

Massive uptick in Shifts today. Almost reaching levels of a major Laravel release. While I know today was stressful for a lot of people, I am glad to see so many taking this opportunity to upgrade outdated Laravel applications.

The one meme that I watch every time I see it. 🤣
Somewhere, a CTO just found out their servers still run PHP 5.6 💀

Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.

I love that I'm running on Laravel Cloud today. 🙌 "No manual action is required."
At 14:00 UTC two critical security vulnerabilities will be patched in PHP. These are extremely serious vulnerabilities affecting every PHP application on the web. Laravel Cloud customers: we will begin automatically patching your applications as soon as the patch is released. No manual action is required. Laravel Forge customers: you will need to manually update your server’s PHP version via the server’s Forge dashboard. If you are unable to update your server, it should be powered down. Laravel Vapor customers: we will begin automatically re-deploying applications running on PHP 8 as soon as the patch is released. No patch is being released for PHP 7 -- immediately update all applications to PHP 8.

Just one of the big advantages of running Cloudflare in front.
PHP sites behind Cloudflare already have an initial set of WAF rules deployed for the known exploit vectors in these vulnerabilities. The rules are available to all customers, including free. We are seeing early attacks emerging and are updating mitigations as new vectors show up. This is a STOPGAP only. Patch as soon as @ThePHPF releases the update at 14:00 UTC today.

Just got home from a conference today. Now I can't sleep from wondering how bad this is going to be. 😅
Attending a tech conference when this drops is going to be maximally entertaining. (I’ll be part of the herd)
