Whether you're running WP or any web apps that depend on PHP, make sure to apply the latest version that fixes the critical RCE vulnerability. Also, good time to ensure underlying OS is also up to date!

[WordPress @WordPress]

The PHP project has released fixes for 2 critical vulnerabilities affecting servers that host PHP applications. Site owners and technical teams should confirm their hosting provider’s update plan and update PHP immediately. Versions before PHP 8.2 no longer receive security updates. These issues are not specific to WordPress, and no WordPress update is required. https://t.co/2Bgok9Vdcq

Do you have more details somewhere and versions supported?
