We would like to thank you sincerely for this. We greatly appreciate that you take security matters seriously and approach us directly, as this is exactly how it should be.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>The good news:<\/strong> our products and software do not use PHP. The vulnerabilities lie within the PHP runtime environment itself. Our solutions are therefore not affected, and no action is required on your part with regard to our products.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The portals operated by our sister company fidion are based on PHP. fidion installed the security updates on all of its servers within 20 minutes on the very day they were released, 21 October 2026. These portals are therefore no longer affected by the vulnerability.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you have any further questions, we will, as always, be glad to help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our products and software are not affected by the \u201cPHP2Shell\u201d security vulnerabilities, as they do not use PHP.
