Security Information: Recent PHP Vulnerabilities Do Not Affect DPS or OCTO
Summary
Several security advisories have recently been published regarding critical vulnerabilities in PHP, commonly referred to as PHP2Shell (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619). These vulnerabilities affect web applications and services running vulnerable versions of PHP.
Impact on DPS and OCTO
DPS and OCTO are not affected by these vulnerabilities.
The reason is straightforward: neither DPS nor OCTO uses PHP as part of the application architecture, runtime environment, web services, or background processing components.
Both products are built on Microsoft technologies and run on the .NET platform. Therefore, the vulnerable PHP runtime is not present in standard DPS or OCTO installations.
Customer Action Required
No action is required for DPS or OCTO itself.
Customers do not need to install patches or configuration changes related to the recent PHP vulnerabilities for DPS or OCTO environments.
Considerations for Customer Infrastructure
Customers should nevertheless verify whether their broader infrastructure contains PHP-based applications, such as:
- WordPress websites
- PHP-based web portals
- phpMyAdmin installations
- Other third-party products that depend on PHP
If such systems are present, they should be reviewed and patched according to the vendor's recommendations.
Conclusion
The recently disclosed PHP vulnerabilities affect systems running vulnerable PHP versions. Because DPS and OCTO do not rely on PHP technology, these vulnerabilities do not impact DPS or OCTO installations. Customers can continue operating their DPS and OCTO environments without taking any PHP-related remediation actions.
