Incident updates

Every update on the official status source, oldest to newest, exactly as it appeared there.

  1. Investigating

    We're actively addressing the PHP security vulnerability announced by the PHP security team. As PHP is managed at the platform level on Kinsta, fixes will be deployed automatically once validated.

    We do want to clarify that the attacks are being successfully mitigated by our Cloudflare site protections, across all our sites, based on rules created specifically for these vulnerabilities. We continue to maintain multiple comprehensive levels of security to mitigate any potential attacks.

    The patched versions of PHP 8.3 and 8.5 have now been validated and are being rolled out across our platform. If your site is already using either version and you'd like to apply the patch immediately, you can switch to a lower PHP version and then back to your original version.

    Updates for PHP 8.4, 8.2, 8.1, and 7.4 are still undergoing validation and will be rolled out once ready. No action is required on your end.

    We'll provide further updates as the rollout progresses.
