I’ve seen probing for it in server logs but not actual exploiting of it. I think the botnets added it to their vulnerability scanners but I have yet to see any examples of an actual working exploit. There are hundreds of vibe coded attempts on github but none of them work to the best of my knowledge. Would love someone to prove me wrong here.
Also this post from Amazon is embarrassing. They knew about it from the 17th yet failed to meet the embargo timeline and patch Amazon Linux (their patch is due to be released today the 22nd of Oct).
I don’t know when various parts of Amazon learned about it, but I don’t think this post means they knew about it on Oct 17. I think they looked at past logs from their honeypots and found a probe for php2shell happened on Oct 17.
What makes you think they knew about it from the 17th? "...dating to Oct. 17, 2026" means that's when it happened. It doesn't mean they identified it on the 17th.
