PHP2Shell Security Update

At dataXchange, the security of our platform and the protection of our customers' data remain our highest priorities.

Following recent reports of a PHP security vulnerability (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), we took immediate action to protect the dataXchange platform.

As part of these measures, we temporarily implemented geographical access restrictions, limiting access to users within the UK and Ireland while the necessary security updates were applied.

We can confirm that:

  • We have updated to the latest version of PHP (v8.5.12).
  • Normal access has been restored for all international users.
  • No unusual activity has been found.

We appreciate the patience and understanding of our international customers during this temporary restriction.

We remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of platform security and will continue to monitor emerging threats and implement appropriate protective measures.
