Identified - University Marketing & Communications team shared the following information about WFU maintained websites:
A critical PHP vulnerability was discovered yesterday that impacts 70% of all websites, including our own. While we await a fix, we’re protecting our website by limiting some functionality.
What this means for you: You will not be able to edit your website until the restrictions are lifted.
What this means for your website visitors: Visitors can browse and search your site as usual, but web forms will not submit. Other functionality may also be affected, including filtering features used on many sites.
We’ll restore full functionality as soon as our web hosting provider, AWS, makes the necessary security patch available and we can safely resume normal operations.
----
Non-Wake Forest maintained websites may also be impacted and prevent interaction or access.
