Server administration

Updated: 30.10.2026Reading time: 1 minute

Server administration is ongoing maintenance: OS and software updates, security configuration, monitoring, backups and incident response.

Without administration, a server gradually falls behind and becomes vulnerable — as the PHP vulnerabilities of October 2026 showed.

Nik.Ru administers servers running Debian, Ubuntu, FreeBSD and CentOS around the clock for RUB 7,500 per month.

Critical severityTwo vulnerabilities in the PHP core. Fixes are already available.

Protect your website: update PHP

Under certain conditions, an attacker can execute code on the server without a login or password. The website, passwords, keys and any other data the PHP process can access are at risk.

Fixed releases:

Leave the update to specialists

We’ll check your website and server, update PHP, the CMS and extensions with compatibility in mind, and fix any other vulnerabilities we find.

Technical details

Install the fixed release of your branch or your OS vendor’s patched package; there is no need to move to 8.4 specifically. PHP 8.1 and earlier have no official fixes — check for a vendor patch or plan a move to a supported branch.

Updating the CMS alone is not enough: PHP itself must be fixed on the server. Before updating, make a backup and check compatibility; afterwards, restart the PHP services (PHP-FPM, web server) and test your websites.
