We are aware of the security advisory information released by the PHP Foundation 21/10/26. The foundation has released emergency updates for two critical vulnerabilities they have been made aware of in their codebase (which 70% of the world's websites rely on).
Our team have been working overnight to apply these patches for our customers. Please note this is not simply a case of pressing a button; instead, each website we maintain needs to be updated and checked to ensure compatibility with the patch and to apply any required changes before patching.
The ongoing work may affect customers who have large/multiple forms or your ability to upload images and/or files to our CMS. If you are having any issues please get in touch at support@thespecialists.org.uk
We appreciate your patience and understanding while this work is undertaken.
We are aware of the security advisory information released by the PHP Foundation 21/10/26 and our team are working hard to apply the patch to all our customers.
