    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.

    New base images

    This section is for packagers.

    New images:

    cloudron/base:6.0.1@sha256:7b1e729960c3ca312d26e886917ba89483241bba0219ff292858e10d9d5768ee
    cloudron/node-base:24-20261021@sha256:7435d8aca138ce01cfca4cd7ec05683223b8f5d7198c9abdaaefa1b6ba14b4c6 (Per https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/october-2026-security-releases , Node.js v22.23.4, Node.js v24.22.1
    Node.js v26.12.1 are updated)

    I am investigating python. Per https://discuss.python.org/t/information-for-python-users-regarding-emudhra-emsign-ca-certificate-security-incident/109576, ensure pip >= 26.2.2 .

    PHP versions are out -PHP 8.5.12 , PHP 8.4.27 , PHP 8.3.36
    PHP 8.2.35 . We are building new packages . Special thanks to oerdnj from https://codeberg.org/oerdnj/deb.sury.org/issues/145

    New base images: cloudron/php-base:8.5-20261021 and cloudron/php-base:8.4-20261021

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

    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
              state="running"
              v=$(docker exec $c php -r 'echo PHP_VERSION;' 2>/dev/null || echo "?")
            else
              state="stopped"
              v=$(docker run --rm --network none --entrypoint php "$img" -r 'echo PHP_VERSION;' 2>/dev/null) || continue
            fi
            case "${v%.*}" in
              8.5) fix=8.5.12 ;; 8.4) fix=8.4.27 ;; 8.3) fix=8.3.36 ;; 8.2) fix=8.2.35 ;; *) fix="" ;;
            esac
            if [ -z "$fix" ]; then s="UNKNOWN/EOL"
            elif [ "$(printf '%s\n' "$v" "$fix" | sort -V | head -1)" = "$fix" ]; then s="PATCHED"
            else s="VULNERABLE"; fi
            printf '%-12s %-8s %-10s %s\n' "$s" "$state" "$v" "$img"
          done
          

          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, itโ€™s โ€œjustโ€ FreshRSS and Tachyon:

          VULNERABLE   stopped  8.5.10     cloudron/org.freshrss.cloudronapp:202610200521170000
          VULNERABLE   stopped  8.5.10     cloudron/com.github.kimusan.tachyon.cloudronapp:202610170524260000

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

                      Hi @girish on a single Wordpress Developer instance I was asked to update to org.wordpress.unmanaged.cloudronapp@3.17.0 and I updated.

                      But all other Wordpress Developer instances, even if I hit "check updatesโ€, nothing happens...

                        @p44 can you check the version of the WP developer instances? It is in the info tab.

                          I have:

                          The (only) one updated shows now:

                          WordPress (Developer) 7.1.3

                          My question is: if there is an available update, why if I hit "check for updatesโ€ nothing happens?

                              You're suffering from something that got me (and others) too - that 4.0.0 release was a mistake. You need to force the update the the newer version with a lower release number using the CLI:

                              cloudron update --app SITE_LOCATION --appstore-id org.wordpress.unmanaged.cloudronapp --force
                              

                              I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

                                P
                                P
                                p44
                                translator

                                @jdaviescoates Thanks a lot, how I can run this without installing Cloudron CLI? Eg. directly from App command line.

                                I think if this problem is on scale, devs should release a fix also to address this specific issue...

                                Edit:

                                @jdaviescoates I installed Cloudron CLI and I used this string that you posted above:

                                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

                                  @p44 yes, there is a fix in https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/commit/a213f095d15c060959a904516ddb0c22d6c0f3d7 for this in 10.1.6 .

                                      Wallabag and Castopod haven't been updated in a while.

                                      Here is a Wallabag thread. It seems they are 1 year behind in codebase updates. (??) But there is a compatibility-frinedly fix being tested.

                                      Castopod released an update a few hours ago on their official code:

                                        Invoice Ninja v5.13.50 is out, but I'm not sure if it has the php fixes. In any case, please update the package!

                                          Hi
                                          About this Gitlab flaw does it impact security concerns about Cloudron instances ?
                                          Is it better to wait before doing app updates in our Cloudron instances ?
                                          Cloudron uses Gitlab for its developpment and for pushing new updates ?
