Vulnerabilities reviewed


Impact on Semarchy products

These vulnerabilities only affect systems that run PHP. Semarchy xDM, xDI and the Semarchy Data Platform are not built on PHP and do not include or use the PHP runtime, PHP interpreters or PHP-based components in any version. This applies to every deployment model: Semarchy-managed cloud, customer self-hosted cloud and on-premises. Because the vulnerable code is not present, these CVEs cannot be exploited through Semarchy software.


Customer action

No action is required for Semarchy products, and no patch or configuration change is needed for your Semarchy deployments. If you run PHP elsewhere in your environment, we recommend upgrading to a fixed PHP release (8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 or 8.2.35) as advised by the PHP project.

We continuously monitor newly disclosed vulnerabilities and assess their potential impact on our products. Should this assessment change, we will update this advisory and notify you promptly.
