Hello everyone:
Forward the National Institute of Cyber Security and TWCERT/CC vulnerability warning announcement. Please confirm and update or patch as soon as possible to reduce related information security risks.
1.Critical Vulnerabilities Discovered in PHP; "ARTEX" AI-Powered Penetration Testing Tool Exploited on a Large Scale
■Two critical security vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) have been identified in the PHP web development language. With a severity score of 9.8, these high-risk vulnerabilities are already being actively exploited, as Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploit code has been publicly released. Given that many websites and content management systems (such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and Magento) rely on PHP as their underlying architecture, this issue has drawn significant international attention. Organizations and enterprises are urged to immediately assess their exposure and implement patches or strengthen protective measures.
■Recommended action: Apply patches as provided by the official PHP website.

5.Cisco SEG contains a high-risk security vulnerability (CVE-2026-76519)
■A relative path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2026-76519) exists within the Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) feature of the Cisco Secure Email Gateway (SEG). When the File Reputation service is enabled, an unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending an email containing a specially crafted attachment to an affected device. This allows the attacker to write arbitrary files to the underlying operating system and execute commands with root privileges. This vulnerability is already being exploited in the wild; please verify your systems and take immediate action.
■Recommended Action: Apply the patches or fixes provided by the vendor via their official website.
