Palo Alto retracts claim of PHP2Shell exploitation at European government agency

> October 25 Update

> Unit 42 reported earlier that we had observed post-compromise activity that we initially thought was related to the PHP2Shell vulnerabilities. What researchers saw was an attack against a European government agency executed in the context of a vulnerable PHP application. This led us to believe that it was exploitation of those vulnerabilities. We are unable to confirm that initial access is associated with the specific PHP2Shell CVEs. We have retracted our previous update from October 23.
