Fixed in PHP 8.2.35, 8.3.36, 8.4.27 and 8.5.12. Update, then restart every PHP worker. I explain both bugs with one interactive machine (a cook, a workbench and a noticeboard), then cover who is affected, whether people are really being hacked, and the exact steps for today. Everything comes from the advisories and the finders. I ran no exploit and have no PHP installed here to test.
