Written summary after the upgrade

Perth companies often have suppliers and contractors logging into portals that sit on the same server as the public website, so one outdated PHP version can reach further than the homepage.

PHP security for businesses in Perth

Perth is the base for many mining, resources and engineering services companies, alongside a large small-business sector. Remote-code-execution flaws CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 affect PHP itself, not just one plugin. Fixed builds are 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35. If your host still runs an older release, the site stays exposed however current WordPress is.

The sites we see most often in this kind of market, and why PHP matters to each:

Energy and resources. Energy and resources service companies maintain supplier and contractor portals that connect to larger systems.
Trades and local services. Local service businesses rely on the website for calls and quote requests, yet rarely have anyone watching it.
Professional services. Professional-services firms often run a simple brochure site beside a client portal or enquiry form, and both sit on the same PHP runtime.

What an upgrade might look like in Perth

Example: a contractor-facing portal with file uploads and logins. We would test uploads, password resets and email delivery on a copy before the live site is switched.

Local rules to keep in mind

The federal Privacy Act 1988 is the main reference for most private businesses. Western Australia’s own privacy legislation focuses on the state public sector.

Questions we hear

Perth is several hours behind the east coast. Who handles our upgrade?

The same team, working to Perth time (AWST). We schedule the switch for a quiet period in Western Australia, not on east-coast hours.

How long does a PHP upgrade take?

A small site is often done within a day once the audit is complete. Stores and custom applications take longer because more has to be tested. We confirm the time before starting.
