Volusion relies on PHP to power and serve our merchant storefronts and management tools. On October 20, 2026, a critical PHP vulnerability was disclosed publicly.  This vulnerability is referred to as "php2shell" and formally tracked as CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619.

We want to reassure our merchants that your Volusion store has remained fully protected throughout this event:
- Our security partner, Cloudflare, successfully deployed mitigating protections across all Volusion stores at 9:00 PM CT last night (October 20, 2026), neutralizing potential exploits at the edge.
- There have been no signs or indications that any Volusion stores have been exploited.
- Thanks to these active edge-level defenses, all stores remain secure while we complete our final patching process.
