These interim measures provide an additional layer of protection while patch deployment is underway. For deprecated PHP versions, we are working with our ELTS partners to apply the appropriate security patches and maintain security coverage.

For deprecated PHP versions, Cloudways is leveraging its Extended Long Term Support (ELTS) partnerships to help maintain security coverage and address vulnerabilities where official patches may not be available.
