Quick heads up: the forum is going to blip for a minute or two while we increase the RAM because uhhhh we've had a noticeable increase in traffic the last two days.

If you are able to contact folks at local schools, governments, nonprofits, and other services to warn them about the PHP vulnerabilities, please consider doing so. These locations often do not have dedicated security staff and almost certainly have PHP assets exposed. #ThreatIntelIsMutualAid #TIIMA

The official advisory and patches have been released. We continue to track emergence of proofs-of-concept and exploits. https://ifin.network/t/cve-2026-109618-cve-2026-109619-remote-code-execution-in-php/914 #PHP2Shell #ThreatIntelligence #ThreatIntel #IFIN

After reviewing the "evidence" of exploitation of #PHP2Shell and finding it wanting, we have removed the "EITW" tag from our story. Our standard for "exploited in the wild" is not sprays against targets. It is direct observables from successful exploitation. That's a higher bar to clear, but for such a scary vulnerability, hardly impossible. So far however, we have not seen that level of evidence.

We will have useful detections for #PHP2Shell in our post and in MISP shortly. We're doing rigorous validation to make sure we don't provide nonsense.

As promised, we've updated our #PHP2Shell story with detailed observable indicators. These are based on a broad review of working proofs-of-concept, and should yield high-fidelity hunts and detections. They've also been added to our MISP feed. https://ifin.network/t/cve-2026-109618-cve-2026-109619-remote-code-execution-in-php/914 #ThreatIntel

IFIN will be submitting commentary in strong opposition to the obviously dangerous requested TLDs in the latest round of applications to ICANN. Anything that is approved and still dangerous will be added to the IFIN Lists for easy blocking. We encourage others to submit commentary starting November 17. https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-reveals-2026-round-applications-for-new-generic-top-level-domains-07-10-2026-en

Let's reset expectations about sharing information. When defensive action is possible, more sharing means more safety for all of us. https://ifin-intel.org/blog/tlp-clear/

If your Palo Alto management interface is internet-exposed, you might notice even more traffic on it today. But if that was your security posture, maybe you're fine with that. Anyway this is exploited in the wild. Authenticated, so creds required. https://ifin.network/t/cve-2026-0322-authenticated-rce-in-pan-os/903 #ThreatIntel #ThreatIntelligence #IFIN

The critical SharePoint vulnerability CVE-2026-50522 now appears to be under massive exploitation. We have context and current IOCs in this post. We've also updated the MISP feed with the same. #ThreatIntel #ThreatIntelligence #IFIN https://discourse.ifin.network/t/microsoft-sharepoint-cve-2026-50522/678
