Two critical vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP, potentially putting millions of websites at risk.🚨
The flaws, dubbed “PHP2Shell” (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), could allow unauthenticated attackers to remotely execute malicious code on vulnerable web servers.
What makes this particularly concerning is that the vulnerabilities exist in PHP itself, not in applications like WordPress or Laravel. Even fully updated websites could be vulnerable if the underlying PHP runtime is unpatched.
The PHP security team released emergency fixes on October 21, 2026, for PHP 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, and 8.5.
Older versions, including PHP 7.4, are still dependent on vendor backports or migration to supported releases.
If you’re running PHP on a publicly accessible server, now is a good time to check for security updates.
A cosmic giant that blew a soap bubble 🌌
The Bubble Nebula lies hidden 7,100 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. Unlike most similar objects, it is not the remnant of a dead star but the product of a super-powerful star. This giant star, with a mass 45 times that of the Sun, continuously spews out powerful streams of matter.
If you're using AI tools to build mobile apps, you'll still need to plan, work on the backend, test, + deploy before shipping.
In this course, you'll build and publish a full-stack social app with Expo and React Native.
You'll use Convex, Clerk, Sentry, and AI coding tools to take it from idea to App Store.

SIX GALAXIES… BECOMING ONE 🌌
JWST has captured an extraordinary scene from the early universe: six ancient galaxies merging inside a region smaller than the Milky Way.
Their light traveled nearly 12 billion years to reach us, showing the universe when it was only about 1.8 billion years old.
Together, these galaxies contain hundreds of billions of stars and are forming new stars at an incredible rate—up to 163 stars every year, compared with just 1–2 in the Milky Way.
At the center, a young supermassive black hole is growing alongside them.
We are witnessing the construction of a cosmic giant—billions of years in the making. 🌌
The universe is constantly changing, colliding, merging, and creating something new.
We may be tiny compared with the cosmos, but we can still look back billions of years and understand its story.
