Security Advisory: Fortinet Firmware Updates and Ongoing Security Hardening SilverSky is aware of Fortinet's October 21, 2026, announcement regarding upcoming security updates addressing multiple vulnerabilities across FortiOS, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, and other Fortinet products. As part of our standard security hardening practices, SilverSky already implements multiple protective measures across our managed Fortinet environments, including trusted host restrictions, local-in policies, restricted administrative access, and additional security controls designed to minimize external exposure and reduce the risk of unauthorized access. These existing safeguards provide important layers of protection and help mitigate the potential risk associated with the vulnerabilities identified by Fortinet. In addition to these existing protections, SilverSky's Security Operations and Device Management teams are reviewing the updated firmware releases and coordinating plans to deploy applicable upgrades across our managed Fortinet environments. Upgrades will be prioritized based on potential exposure and risk, while following our established change management and validation procedures to minimize service disruption. We will continue to monitor Fortinet's security advisories and threat intelligence, evaluate potential exposure, and implement additional mitigation or remediation measures as appropriate. SilverSky remains committed to proactively protecting our customers' environments through ongoing security monitoring, preventative hardening measures, and timely security updates.

INVESTIGATING

PHP2Shell: critical PHP vulnerabilities Immediate patching is strongly recommended for affected PHP environments. CRITICAL CVE-2026-109618 • CVE-2026-109619 • CVSS 9.2 Customer action requested : Prioritize identification and patching of internet-facing systems, applications, and appliances that use PHP. Where PHP is embedded in a third-party product, follow the product vendor’s approved update guidance. What is happening: On 21 October the PHP project released fixes for two critical bugs in PHP itself, tracked as CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 and nicknamed PHP2Shell. An attacker can send one crafted web request to any PHP page and run commands on the server with the permissions of the web service. No account or password is needed. The request is handled before your application code runs, so application patches, maintenance mode and login pages do not protect you. Because the flaw is in PHP itself rather than in any one website or application, it affects every PHP version from 5.4 through 8.5.11 and every common way of running PHP: PHP-FPM, Apache with mod_php, php-cgi, LiteSpeed and FrankenPHP. Public websites, content management systems such as WordPress, Drupal and Joomla, e-commerce platforms, Nextcloud, webmail, hosting control panels such as cPanel and Plesk, and appliances or management consoles with PHP inside are all in scope. Internet-facing systems are the priority. Internal PHP servers are lower risk but still need the fix. Technical details leaked a day before the fix. Several security vendors have reported probing and early attack attempts since the morning of 21 October. No breach has yet been publicly confirmed with evidence, but attacks are expected to grow quickly now that the details are public. Web application firewall rules can reduce exposure to the known techniques. They are not a replacement for the update. Recommended Customer Actions: 1. Identify every internet-facing system, application, container and appliance that uses PHP, including PHP embedded in third-party products. Plesk and Nextcloud have confirmed they are affected. The NCSC-NL tracker (linked below) lists other products as vendors respond. 2. Update PHP to 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 or 8.2.35, or apply the security update from your operating system or product vendor. 3. Fully restart PHP-FPM, Apache, LiteSpeed or the container after updating. A reload is not enough. 4. Where PHP is embedded and cannot be updated directly, contact the software, appliance, hosting or managed-service provider for their approved update or workaround. 5. If you run PHP 8.1 or older, there is no official package. Source patches exist for 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1. Older versions have nothing. Until the server is replaced, put it behind a web application firewall, cap the request body size at the web server (8 MB or less unless the site needs large uploads), and block file uploads the site does not need. Do not lower the PHP memory limit as a workaround. A low memory limit combined with a large allowed request size is one of the conditions the exploit needs. If none of that is possible, take the server offline. 6. Before you patch an internet-facing server, look for signs of compromise: new or changed .php files in recent days, cron jobs you do not recognize, PHP error logs with "Allowed memory size" messages that end in "Unknown on line 0", repeated web server worker crashes, and web server processes making outbound connections. A successful attack can leave none of these, so patching is still the priority. If you find any of them, isolate the server and contact the SOC before cleaning up. 7. Keep watching exposed systems, web logs, sign-in activity and vendor advisories for suspicious behavior or new guidance. 8. Tell us which of your internet-facing systems run PHP so we can prioritize our checks. Open a ticket if you need help confirming a version, applying the update or checking a server. SilverSky’s Actions : • SilverSky has activated its incident response process for this event. • We are reviewing our own systems and services for PHP exposure, applying emergency patches where updates are available, assessing vendor-managed technologies, and putting risk-reduction measures in place where immediate patching needs additional coordination. • We are searching the firewall, intrusion prevention, web application firewall, web server, Linux and endpoint logs we receive from your environment for exploitation attempts and for the activity that follows a successful attack. We will contact you directly if we find anything in your environment. • We are adding detection rules for this activity to our monitoring platform. • We are tracking public threat intelligence, vendor advisories, CISA guidance and new detection methods, coordinated across our security, engineering, operations, compliance and vendor-management teams. Continuing updates This is a fast-moving situation. Information about affected products, exploitation activity, detection methods and vendor patches will change as research continues. We will update this notice on the SilverSky status page when there are material developments or when customer action is needed, and we will contact affected customers directly if we find anything in their environment.

MONITORING

Update 10/13/2026@ 1:45PM EDT Dear Valued Customer, SilverSky would like to provide an update regarding the ongoing FortiBleed campaign targeting Fortinet FortiGate firewalls and VPN infrastructure. As previously communicated in our June 22, 2026, notification, SilverSky has implemented multiple security measures to help protect our managed Fortinet environments against potential compromise. On October 6, 2026, the FBI and U.S. Secret Service issued an updated cybersecurity advisory confirming that this campaign remains active. While the advisory does not appear to identify a new vulnerability, it reinforces the importance of maintaining appropriate security controls and remaining vigilant against potential threats. SilverSky continues to maintain security measures designed to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, including regular firmware updates, multi-factor authentication, administrative access restrictions, credential management, and security monitoring, as applicable to the managed environment. Our Security Operations and Device Management teams continue to review the latest threat intelligence, evaluate potential exposure across applicable managed environments, and implement additional mitigation or remediation measures as appropriate. SilverSky remains committed to protecting our customers' environments and will continue monitoring developments related to this campaign. Should any potential security concerns be identified, we will coordinate appropriate next steps with affected customers. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact SilverSky Support. Thank you, SilverSky Support
