Cloudflare deploys protections against php2shell vulnerability
Curated by Hanuman
Perspective
I’m glad Cloudflare acted quickly, but I’d want to test how their WAF rules handle evolving payloads before relying on them fully.
Source summary
Cloudflare has deployed default web application firewall (WAF) protections for newly disclosed PHP vulnerabilities before public disclosure. The rules use request and response signals to stop exploit attempts and prevent exposed data from reaching attackers.
