cPanel Security Advisory: Upcoming PHP Security Updates

Gepubliceerd 22 oktober 2026 2 min leestijd

The PHP project expects to release security updates on October 22, 2026. These updates fix two vulnerabilities in PHP. cPanel & WHM includes or uses PHP, so these vulnerabilities can affect your cPanel & WHM installations. The PHP project rates both vulnerabilities as Critical. These vulnerabilities are in PHP. They are not in the cPanel & WHM code.

Prepare Now

Identify affected systems. Make a list of your cPanel & WHM installations and the PHP versions that they use.
Check the update configuration. Make sure that your systems can receive updates. If you disabled automatic updates or pinned a version, review your configuration now so there are no delays when the patch is available. If automatic updates are disabled, verify the current version and update.
Find end-of-life PHP versions. Make a list of sites or applications that use PHP versions that do not get security updates. Plan to move them to a supported version.
Brief your team. If your environment requires a maintenance window, tell the relevant people so they are ready to act.
Watch for a follow-up email with the exact patched versions and a link to the full technical details.

We will send a follow-up email when the patches are available, with full details and remediation steps.

Our support team is available if you have any questions or need further guidance.
