What happened

SANS ISC reported two critical PHP vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, with an estimated CVSS score of 9.4 and early proof-of-concept exploits available before vendor patch release. Due to PHP's widespread deployment and active exploit development, the incident was elevated to InfoCon Yellow. The feed also includes content on malicious or suspicious VBA projects embedded in DWG files, cryptomining activity associated with Panchan, and AI-agent security, but the PHP vulnerabilities are the primary high-impact issue.
