Upcoming Critical PHP Security Release

Deciding to announce it like this is wild, it's an invitation for everyone to put their agents to work in order to find out what the vulnerability is and exploit it, while nobody is allowed to patch it until tomorrow.

I don't see any details of the vulnerability leaked except "code execution"...?

It's already been found and shared on X. It's only a matter of hours before untold numbers of sites are hacked.
