The official HortusFox homepage is online again. Same for all of my other websites and web-based services. 🚀

Here's a thought about chainguards break of embargo, and I'm just throwing it out:

Intentional unfair business practices to gain market advantages at the expense of the whole world's cyber security.

New docker image for HortusFox v6.4 is now live! 😊

A big thanks to @thephpf for working so hard on the PHP patches. And everyone involved building docker images, posting news, supporting maintainers, and updating their own projects. You did an awesome job today!

What a #Spooktober indeed. We all deserve some rest now. 😴

Good night everyone. See y'all tomorrow. 💚

Update regarding HortusFox 📢

👉 In the default dockerfile, PHP will be pinned from 8.3.0 to 8.3.36.

👉 Also added a fix to handle response codes properly returned from the HortusFox homepage in the context of version checks

👉 The HortusFox official homepage is still offline, no further response from my hoster. They are sadly very unresponsive.

I will publish the patch very soon. 🩹

You know things get serious when even the german Tagesschau publishes news on the subject:

Meanwhile, the PHP Group published the fixes:

As a measurement of caution, all my websites have now been turned offline until further notice.

I'm currently communicating with my hoster on how fast they can apply a patch when released.

For HortusFox users, this means your workspace cannot check for new updates, or share images with the hortusfox.com backend.

All my platforms will be back online as soon as the situation is resolved.

I don't like waking up to a possible internet collapse...

There seems to be two critical RCE vulnerabilities discovered in PHP.

If you are using HortusFox, please make sure it's not accessible from the public Internet. I will monitor the situation and see if I have to take any action when the security patches are live.
