According to The Defiant, Japan’s Prime Minister urged government websites operators to apply available patches for two critical vulnerabilities that allow attackers to execute code on web servers without authentication. The recommendation followed disclosure of the flaws, for which fixes are now publicly accessible. Operators are advised to deploy the patches promptly. In cases where immediate patching is not feasible, the Prime Minister suggested considering temporary shutdowns of affected sites to reduce exposure. The guidance applies to government-operated websites using PHP and concerns only the two identified vulnerabilities that enable remote code execution without login requirements.
