Contabo Investigates PHP CVE-2026-115560 and Recommends Session Mitigation
2 hours ago
Contabo opened an investigating advisory after the PHP project published informational guidance on CVE-2026-115560, a potential remote code execution path in PHP session handling that the project rates as unlikely in typical configurations. Contabo recommends customers set session.upload_progress.enabled=0 and restart PHP now; anyone who already applied that setting after the October 21 advisory needs no further change. A full fix is expected in the next regular PHP release, and Contabo still recommends upgrading to patched 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, or 8.2.35 where applicable.

I have been using this hosting provider's services for some time now, and my overall impressions are positive. The process of ordering a virtual server and its subsequent activation happens without any delays. The performance level of the servers is consistently high, which is crucial for the smooth operation of my projects. The control panel is intuitive and easy to navigate. I would specifically like to mention the technical support: the specialists respond promptly, are truly knowledgeable in technical matters, and provide great help with configurations. The wide range of locations and flexible tariff plans make it easy to find the right solution for specific needs. The service is reliable, and the pricing policy is well-justified for the quality provided

Отличный провайдер HIP-HOSTING! Использую их VPS серверы уже несколько месяцев. Скорость работы высокая, аптайм отличный, серверы работают стабильно и без сбоев. Техническая поддержка отвечает быстро и всегда готова помочь с настройками. Цены вполне адекватные за такое качество. Очень доволен сервисом, рекомендую всем!"**

图便宜买了 L2，白天挺顺，一到晚高峰就丢包，页面转圈。国际带宽倒是猛，就是当主力站不合适，先打三分。

L3 洛杉矶那台用了两个月，晚高峰延迟也稳，电信 CN2、联通 9929 回程都在。三十多刀年付这个价，挂轻量站够用。
