The National Communication Authority has warned government institutions, businesses and website operators to update their online systems following the discovery of two critical security flaws that could expose websites to cyberattacks.
The flaws affect PHP, a technology used to build and run websites and online platforms.
According to the PHP development team, the weaknesses could allow hackers to run malicious code on vulnerable web servers without logging in.
The warning affects websites and online services that rely on the affected versions of PHP, including government portals and business platforms.
The PHP development team has released security updates to fix the flaws. Website administrators are urged to install the updates promptly or temporarily restrict public access to vulnerable systems if they cannot update immediately.
Organisations are also advised to check their systems for suspicious activity and investigate any possible unauthorised access.
The authority says taking these steps will help reduce the risk of cyberattacks and protect sensitive information stored on online platforms.
