Michigan State University Information Technology is aware of recently identified critical security vulnerabilities affecting PHP, a technology widely used to support websites and web applications.
MSU IT has been actively assessing university systems and taking appropriate measures to protect MSU’s technology environment. These efforts include identifying systems, applying available security updates, implementing additional protections where appropriate, and working directly with system administrators across the university. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and take additional action as needed as more information becomes available.
No action is required from most members of the MSU community at this time. Individuals responsible for managing university websites, servers or applications using PHP should ensure they are following guidance provided by MSU IT and immediately apply required updates.
Questions or concerns can be directed to the MSU IT Service Desk:
