The PHP2Shell flaw affects PHP running on web servers, not the computers people use to visit websites. Fortune’s explainer says ordinary users do not need to download a patch or fix their own devices.
Why it mattersWebsite owners and server operators should check that their PHP installation is updated to a patched version. If a hosting provider manages the site, Fortune advises asking the provider whether it has applied the fix. That is a useful distinction amid the wider warnings: the job falls to whoever maintains the server, not everyone browsing the web.
Discuss: Should hosting providers have to tell customers clearly when a serious server-side flaw has been patched?
