Last time I touched php it was ~20 years ago and maybe for a month. Could someone with actual php understanding weigh in?
Somehow, somewhere between the lines, my understanding was that there have been observances of the vuln being used in the wild before the 14 UTC. And that wasn’t from reading news sites
Literally the first thing indo after installing PHP is disabling the eval and assert functions.asssert() might might be useful in unit tests but thats about it, but eval is just plain evil and should never be used and if you do you are doing whatever you are doing, wrong.
