Global security issue affecting PHP software
Thursday 22 October 2026
Digital Services is responding to a global security issue affecting PHP, software widely used by websites and online services around the world.
We are assessing the potential impact on the University and taking urgent steps to protect against any security risks.
Most University systems are expected to operate normally. However, some sites may temporarily be accessible only from on-campus or via VPN as this work is carried out.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
