Friday’s brief: GitLab’s 10.0 fix, then VeloCloud attacks, a poisoned LiteLLM release and PHP2Shell logs to check

By George Bailey   Published: 10/23/26   2 min read

Good morning. GitLab shipped a fix for a 10.0 flaw that lets outsiders run code on self-hosted servers, so Friday starts with a GitLab upgrade. Attackers are already using a new VeloCloud Orchestrator bug, a fake LiteLLM release spent two hours stealing keys, and Amazon says PHP2Shell attacks began four days before the patch.
