Same car, different badge: a chart of every car on sale in Europe

So I made a chart of it.

PHP2Shell is a pair of critical remote code execution flaws in PHP (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, both rated CVSS 9.2).

Over the following days, I had Claude Opus 5.5, track 33 vendors that ship PHP to see when each one had a patched package available. The vendors include Linux distributions, BSDs, third-party repositories, Windows package managers, hosting panels, container images and NAS firmware.
