NW’s Assessment of PHP2Shell Vulnerabilities

Oct 26, 2026

by Kevin Bowyer

Our public-facing websites and services have not been affected by the PHP2Shell vulnerabilities.

We have undertaken an assessment of our public-facing websites and services to establish whether any were exposed to the PHP2Shell vulnerabilities or may have been compromised prior to patches being applied. Our assessment found that our public-facing websites and services have not been affected.

Our assessment covered the following:

Exposure of our below listed public-facing websites and services to the PHP2Shell vulnerabilities, a security issue that enables attackers to execute malicious code on vulnerable PHP-based systems tracked as CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, plus an additional vulnerability CVE-2026-115560.

  • BigCommerce: Our B2B e-commerce websites use the BigCommerce platform, which has confirmed that its services are not affected by the PHP2Shell vulnerability. We do not run any custom PHP-based applications alongside BigCommerce. BigCommerce does not run PHP in a manner that exposes it to this issue, but have nevertheless patched their servers, as almost all versions of PHP are affected.
  • Streamdays: Our Streamdays platform does not use php in any of its operations. A third-party provider we use patched its systems in a timely and non-disruptive manner.
  • WordPress: Our WordPress website is hosted by a third-party provider, who has confirmed that all necessary patching has been completed.
  • Other public-facing services: We reviewed all other technologies used by the public services we operate to assess their potential exposure.
  • Root-level investigations into data access patterns.

Our assessment is limited to the systems and services within our operational control, and the information provided by our third-party providers. We will continue to monitor relevant security developments and take the required actions where necessary.
