As widely reported, two critical vulnerabilities were recently identified in PHP, the core programming language powering WordPress. Our security teams have been actively monitoring the situation and implementing several mitigating actions. As of 8:40 AM CDT (13:40 UTC) today, PHP has begun to release patches and other mitigating steps to resolve the vulnerabilities. Our team is working to roll out these updates across all customer platforms as soon as possible. In addition, we have already deployed protective mitigations at the CDN layer via Cloudflare and Fastly. We will share further updates as deployment progresses.
