Stillian unveiled a free online service on the 22nd to check whether systems are affected by 'PHP2Shell (PHP2Shell).'
PHP2Shell refers to the CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 vulnerabilities found in PHP, and if exploited, they could allow arbitrary code execution on servers without separate authentication and access to sensitive information.
The South Korean government urged emergency security updates, and the Ministry of Science and ICT raised the private-sector cyber crisis alert level from 'attention' to 'caution.'
With concerns rising over remote code execution through recent PHP vulnerabilities, web servers around the world and the IT industry have begun security responses after recognizing the possibility that PHP vulnerabilities could be exploited for remote code execution. In South Korea, too, emergency security measures are needed.
Against this backdrop, Stillian announced on the 22nd that it was unveiling a free online service to check whether systems are affected by 'PHP2Shell (PHP2Shell).' The service can be checked simply by entering a web address.
PHP2Shell (PHP2Shell) is a collective term for 2 vulnerabilities discovered in PHP. The vulnerabilities are CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, and if attackers exploit them, they can execute arbitrary code on a server without separate authentication and also access sensitive information.
The latest controversy stems from the high level of domestic and overseas use of WordPress and Gnuboard. WordPress and Gnuboard run on PHP, and because the vulnerability was found in PHP itself rather than in individual websites, any site using a vulnerable PHP version may be affected regardless of how it was developed.
The South Korean government has urged emergency security updates related to the vulnerabilities. The Ministry of Science and ICT raised the cyber crisis alert level for the private sector from 'attention' to 'caution' at noon, in an effort to preemptively respond to the possibility of large-scale hacking.
In this situation, Stillian unveiled this free online service. The background for making the service public was the need for urgent measures.
Stillian said it plans to help companies and organizations that lack security specialists check for vulnerabilities on their own. The service is available to website owners or users with administrative privileges.
However, the results do not guarantee the overall safety of a website. Regardless of the test results, operators need to check whether PHP security updates have been applied and whether related services have been restarted. After the update is completed, they also need to separately inspect for signs of compromise, such as abnormal access records on the server and web shell installations. If they use hosting services, they also need to check whether the provider has applied security measures.
Stillian CEO Park Chan-am said that in an emergency, the first priority is to check whether an operating service is within the scope of the vulnerability's impact, and then to quickly implement security measures. He explained that the company unveiled the service to help small and midsize businesses and organizations that lack security personnel.
