Cloud Container Platform – PHP Security Updates
Update - We recommend that customers running older PHP versions (PHP 8.1 or older) upgrade to a currently supported version as soon as possible. Older PHP versions that have reached end of life no longer receive security updates from the PHP project, potentially leaving websites exposed to known vulnerabilities.

We will be rolling out automatic image updates to Managed Cloud Container customers only. Customers using un-managed Cloud Containers can log in to the SiteHost control panel and manually update their container to the latest available image.
Oct 22, 2026 - 08:38 NZDT
Identified - We have updated the Cloud Container images for PHP 8.2, PHP 8.3, PHP 8.4 and PHP 8.5 to address the security vulnerabilities identified as CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619.

We are now rolling out these updated images across our Cloud Container servers. Automatic updates may take some time to reach all customers.

If you would like to apply the update sooner, you can manually update your Cloud Container to the latest image version through the SiteHost control panel.

We will provide further updates as the rollout progresses.

Emergency Server Maintenance Oct 22, 2026 23:00 - Oct 23, 2026 07:00 NZDT

Due to some recently uncovered vulnerabilities, we need to perform emergency maintenance on our hardware nodes in order to apply security patches. During the maintenance, affected servers will be rebooted, so if you haven't already we would recommend you check that your server is safe to reboot.

If you are on a managed server or our Cloud Container platform, this has already been done for you. Also, if you are on a managed or Cloud Container platform, we will be applying these security patches to your server as well.
