Amazon says PHP2Shell exploited before public disclosure

Original: Amazon identifies Oct 17 PHP2Shell exploitation prior to public disclosure

Amazon's threat intelligence team says its honeytrap network, MADRAT/MADPot, detected exploitation of a PHP vulnerability dubbed PHP2Shell on October 17, before details became public. The company published its findings in a security blog post, saying the early detection allowed protections to be put in place ahead of widespread abuse. Security researchers are discussing the technique and the value of honeypot-based early warning.

Why now: Amazon's disclosure that it observed exploitation before public disclosure is notable to the security community.
