php2shell Scanner
Check whether a site looks exposed to php2shell (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), the unauthenticated PHP remote-code-execution flaw that affects an estimated 70 percent of internet-facing PHP. We read the versions your server already exposes. The scan is passive: no exploit payloads, no stored results.
What this does, and what it cannot do
- It reads the
ServerandX-Powered-Byheaders and the WordPress generator tag your site exposes. - Many servers hide the exact PHP version (good practice). When that is the case, the scanner cannot confirm exposure and will tell you to check on the server with
php -v. - A clean result is not a guarantee. It means no vulnerable version was detected from the outside, not that the site is secure.
