Mirai Botnet Operators Join PHP2Shell Attacks as ASLR Bypass Exploits Emerge

Researchers have linked Mirai botnet operators to PHP2Shell attack attempts and disclosed an address space layout randomization (ASLR) bypass technique, though no confirmed compromise has been reported. The connection between the botnet and the exploitation method suggests emerging technical sophistication in these attacks.

Why it matters: Web application operators and defenders should monitor for PHP2Shell exploitation attempts, particularly those originating from Mirai-controlled infrastructure, and apply available mitigations against ASLR bypass techniques.
