        @sebastienserre yes, it's best to stop the PHP-based apps. You can see which apps are affected a few posts up. App updates are being rolled out. For instance, Wordpress and Freescout fixes are ready. As for the server, go to the initial post, log in to your server(s) via SSH, and run the commands to make sure the server is up to date. That's all you need to do right now.

          @sebastienserre 10.1.6 is needed and on the way. Stay tuned.

            The internal priority is to get the PHP apps updated first. The PHP issue is far more severe than the certificate issue (which requires the DNS or something else to be compromised to work). In that sense, 10.1.6 will happen but after most of the PHP apps are updated.

              Is putting the concerned apps into recovery mode until the updates are there enough to "secure" them?

                @OneTools-Project I don't know. I've stopped all of mine. But you can't update stopped apps, so you have to restarted the again to update them. I'm taking advantage of the Cloudron CLI for the first time to make this process quicker and easier. And Claude just gave me this to restart and then force start all my WordPress apps that were all stuck on a wrong 4.0.0 version number and so weren't able to update:

                for a in $(cloudron list | awk '$5=="stopped" && $3=="org.wordpress.unmanaged.cloudronapp@4.0.0" {print $1}'); do cloudron start --app "$a" && cloudron update --app "$a" --appstore-id org.wordpress.unmanaged.cloudronapp@3.17.0 --force; done
                

                I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

                    @Grienauer Packages are being updated one by one. Many are already patched.

                    (Ask me about B2B marketing automation & low code business solutions, if thats interesting for you.)

                        Thank you @girish @nebulon @james and other Cloudron staff I don't know about. I checked in earlier and saw you were in the process of reacting to the news. And I wasn't stressed, I knew it'd be fixed.

                        I dropped Internet traffic to my homeserver Cloudron and decided to wait patiently. My small company users went for 🍻. πŸ™‚ And now I'm seeing updates being available for the apps I run. Click...click...one by one.

                        We don't see all the frantic work you've all been doing, but your fast response and updating is a credit to you all. You provide a great service.

                        When this one is "finished", I hope you get a long beer and a longer sleep. πŸ‘

                        If only all companies responded as fast as you.

                          There are two major security issues that hit today morning.

                          • eMudhra Certificate compromise - https://emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com
                          • PHP issue - https://cert.europa.eu/publications/security-advisories/2026-018/ . The recommendation here is to shut down your PHP sites entirely. FWIW, we have shutdown our own matomo, freescout, mautic, humhub .

                          We are also updating https://social.cloudron.io/@cloudron and https://x.com/CloudronIO as we get more information. Public newsletter link - https://newsletter.cloudron.io/archive/2026-10-21-php-emudhra

                          PHP RCE

                          We have already started rolling out updates for the apps.

                          Status as of 22 OCT 19:20 CEST - Around 175 packages have been updated. ~20 or so remain. We are working through them diligently. It's complicated because sometimes upstream has gone all silent.

                          Status as of 23 OCT 9:20 CEST - Pretty much all packages updated. Only 3-4 remain. All PHP apps are updated.

                          eMudhra Certificate compromise

                          Ubuntu has released the necessary CA store update - https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-8944-1 . All Cloudron packages have been updated to include the new CA store.

                          Cloudron already enables automatic security updates on the server. But you can and should check this manually.

                          SSH into your server and run:

                          # dpkg-query -W -f 'installed: ${Version}\n' ca-certificates
                          installed: 20260816ubuntu0.26.04.1
                          

                          This should say 20260816ubuntu0.26.04.1 atleast. The first part is the date, and it must be equal to or later than that. The last part of the string will differ based on your ubuntu version (for example, 20260816ubuntu0.22.04.1 is valid).

                          You can check when the above package arrived via automatic security update:

                          # grep -A2 'ca-certificates' /var/log/apt/history.log | tail -n 2
                          Upgrade: ca-certificates:amd64 (20260601~26.04.1, 20260816ubuntu0.26.04.1)
                          End-Date: 2026-10-21  06:59:55
                          

                          If the ca-certificates was not updated, update ca-certificates package manually:

                          # apt-get update
                          # apt-get install -y ca-certificates
                          

                          Now to be 100% sure, check that the cert is not in trust bundle:

                          # openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt  | openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -noout | grep -F "emSign ECC Root CA - G3"   && echo "STILL IN TRUST BUNDLE" || echo "removed from trust bundle"
                          

                          It should say removed from trust bundle

                          Cloudron update

                          Cloudron 10.1.6 is coming soon with an update to nodejs - https://github.com/nodejs/node/releases/tag/v24.22.1 (via this change). You should update to Cloudron 10.1.6 at the earliest, when it's available. Other parts of Cloudron like nginx, docker will use the host CA bundle automatically and are safe. At this point, there is nothing you (the user) can do until we release this.

                          First run:

                          # dpkg-query -W -f 'installed: ${Version}\n' ca-certificates
                          installed: 20260816ubuntu0.26.04.1
                          

                          Slightly off topic for this thread, but asking here as others might run into the same issue when working with the PHP CVE: What if the date was in June? What could cause the automatic security updates to fail?

                            Turned off my Castopod 1.15.5 (org.castopod.cloudronapp@2.13.4) for now as it is running PHP 8.3.6 - hoping a 2year jump in minor semantic versions isn't as rough as it sounds it might be...

                            Edit: Good news the upstream has fixed this one already https://github.com/ad-aures/castopod/releases/tag/v1.15.6 Castopod 1.15.6 - so it looks to me like a maintainer just needs to bump the php-base to match - e.g.: cloudron/php-base:8.4-20261021 and update the manifest for v1.15.6 ?

                                Do we have a list which Apps use PHP and should therefore be stopped, currently?

                                Edit, this does the trick, check in running and stopped apps if and which php is inside:

                                for c in $(docker ps -aq); do
                                  img=$(docker inspect -f '{{.Config.Image}}' $c)
                                  if [ "$(docker inspect -f '{{.State.Running}}' $c)" = "true" ]; then
                                    docker top $c -eo pid,comm 2>/dev/null | grep -qE '\s(php|php-fpm[0-9.]*|apache2|frankenphp)$' || continue

                                Checks all Cloudron app containers for PHP versions affected by CVE-2026-109618 / CVE-2026-109619 (CERT-EU advisory 2026-018). Fixed in PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35.

                                • Running apps: only listed if a PHP web process (php-fpm, apache2/mod_php, frankenphp) is actually running; version is read via docker exec.
                                • Stopped apps: version is read from the image in a throwaway container without network access. The app itself is not started.

                                For me, it’s β€œjust” FreshRSS and Tachyon:

                                    OK, so we are 2/3rds into our package updates. over 150 packages have been updated out of the over 200 packages we maintain.
