Good morning. PHP publishes fixes for two critical flaws at 10 AM Eastern today, so the morning is for finding every server that runs it. Oracle’s quarterly update landed on Tuesday with no-login bugs in E-Business Suite and WebLogic, Chrome 156 needs a restart on every laptop, and Python teams that handle image uploads have a Pillow upgrade to make.

Also on the radar: Apache Camel fixed CVE-2026-78162 in camel-hazelcast, an incomplete earlier fix that leaves some Hazelcast instances without a deserialization filter; upgrade to 4.18.5, 4.22.1 or 4.23.0 (Apache advisory). OVHcloud says versions 0.11.0 to 0.15.0 of its CLI on GitHub were swapped for a secret-stealing build on October 19; anyone who ran one should rotate every secret on that machine (BleepingComputer).
