Akamai has completed its assessment of the recently published PHP remote code execution vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) across our platform and infrastructure, and mitigation efforts are complete.
Cloud Infrastructure Speed Tests will remain offline in the near term. We plan to bring them back online in the near future.
If you are running a vulnerable version of PHP on a Linode instance, we recommend following guidance from the upstream vendor (PHP) and applying upstream patches as they become available.
We appreciate your patience while our teams completed this work.
