Global incident — ongoing exploitation

The global PHP meltdown has swept through the web's oldest infrastructure. Sites built on WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and every other PHP CMS have been compromised — not through their plugins, but through the interpreter underneath them. If your estate runs PHP, it was in the blast radius from day one.

Octophase audits your exposure, grades it, and rebuilds your site off PHP entirely — same product, no interpreter in the request path. Start with a free audit.

Why PHP estates are exposed

Your stack is the attack surface.

PHP2Shell — CVE-2026-109618 / CVE-2026-109619 — is an active remote-code-execution risk in PHP estates. We audit your existing site, grade the exposure, and rebuild it on a sovereign non-PHP high-performance stack.

PHP2Shell RCE — CVE-2026-109618 / CVE-2026-109619

An actively exploited remote-code-execution chain against PHP deployments. If you run PHP, you are in scope until proven otherwise.

EOL runtimes in production

PHP 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1 are past end-of-life — no security patches, still powering a large share of the live web.

mod_php engine exposure

Embedding the interpreter in the web server widens the reachable surface of every request-handling bug.

Memory-safety vulnerability class

The interpreter and its C extension ecosystem carry the classic memory-corruption bug class — the highest-severity RCE precursor.

Legacy-stack latency

Every request pays interpreter spin-up and framework boot. Slow pages leak rank, conversion and crawl budget.

Hosting cost creep

Over-provisioned PHP hosting exists to mask the stack's throughput ceiling. You pay for the inefficiency monthly.

The path out

Audit. Report. Rebuild.

01 — AUDIT

Stack & CVE grading

We fingerprint your live site's stack, map it against known CVEs including PHP2Shell, and grade the exposure.

02 — REPORT

Executive risk report

A plain-language report: what is exposed, what it costs you, and what a fix looks like — prioritized and priced.

03 — REBUILD

Sovereign non-PHP stack

We migrate your existing project to a sovereign non-PHP high-performance stack — same product, faster pages, closed RCE class.

What protection looks like
P1

Memory-safe serving stack

The rebuilt estate runs on a compiled, memory-safe engine — the bug class behind the meltdown simply has nowhere to live.

P2

No interpreter in the request path

Every request on a PHP estate executes a general-purpose interpreter. On the rebuilt stack, request handling is machine code — nothing to inject into.

P3

Continuous CVE grading

Post-migration, your estate stays under continuous stack fingerprinting and CVE correlation — future PHP-side shocks never catch you exposed.

What we run

Built for the
whole corridor.

Audit

Continuous exposure grading

Automated stack fingerprinting and CVE correlation across every site you operate — not a one-time PDF.

Migration

High-performance rebuilds

Pixel-faithful migration off PHP onto a compiled, memory-safe serving stack with dramatically lower latency.

Intelligence

Territory & lead signals

Geo-recon and intent scoring that tell you which corridors are worth defending — and which to abandon.

Sovereignty

Your stack, your rules

No framework lock-in, no interpreter treadmill, no forced upgrade cycle. The platform is yours to keep.

Questions

Before you ask.

Am I actually affected by PHP2Shell?
If any part of your estate runs PHP — including plugins, themes and vendored dependencies — you are potentially in scope. The free audit fingerprints your stack and gives you a definite answer.
What does the free audit include?
Stack fingerprinting, CVE correlation (including CVE-2026-109618 / CVE-2026-109619), runtime EOL checks, and a graded exposure summary. No agent installs, no credentials required.
Do you rebuild the site exactly as it is?
Functionally yes — same routes, content and behavior. The serving stack underneath is replaced with a sovereign non-PHP high-performance engine, which is where the latency and RCE-class wins come from.
How long does a migration take?
Most marketing and CMS sites move in days, not months. Complex application estates get a staged plan after the audit report.
