Security vulnerability PHP2Shell: UCware, Moodle, Mahara, and LimeSurvey temporarily offline
Down – Resolved after 19h 4m
+++ UPDATE 2026-10-21 17:14 +++
Because a vulnerability has also been found in the updated version of PHP, the systems must remain shut down.
Unfortunately, eduVPN is also affected by the shutdown.
Dear students, dear colleagues,
Today, a serious security vulnerability in the PHP programming language was disclosed, referred to as “PHP2Shell.” Many web applications worldwide are based on PHP, including several HM systems. Affected among others are UCware, Moodle, Mahara, and LimeSurvey.
Please note that, as a result, telephony when working from home and from mobile phones via the UCware app is not possible.
What does this mean?
Through the vulnerability, attackers could remotely execute programs on the affected servers. They could thereby take control of the systems and read or modify data.
What is HM doing?
To protect you and your data, we have proactively taken the affected systems offline. They will therefore be unavailable until further notice. As soon as the security updates are available and have been applied, we will bring the systems back online.
Where can I find current information?
You can find the current status at any time at https://status.hm.edu.
An easy-to-understand explanation of the vulnerability is provided by the association Deutschland sicher im Netz:
We are aware that the outage restricts teaching, studies, and administration. We are working flat out to make the systems available again as quickly as possible and ask for your understanding.
Kind regards
Your HM IT
Minimal IT operations due to a power shutdown
Down – Resolved after 23h 20m
HM IT is currently operating in minimal IT mode due to the planned power shutdown by Stadtwerke München during the period
from Wednesday, 05.08.26 at 4 p.m. to Thursday, 06.08.26 at approx. 3 p.m.
Minimal operation includes the following services:
- Authentication with university account & MFA (and thus access to external services such as Zoom, Outlook, BayernCollab & OneDrive)
- Telephony with UCware
- Door access with Salto (via token) and Zeus
- DHCP and DNS
- eduVPN
- Desigo
- Primuss
Note: During the power-off times, no IT operations will be possible at all in buildings B, E, R, and X (not even minimal operations).
At the end of September, the same restrictions will occur again. We will inform you again once the exact period has been set.
Resolved: Air conditioning failure in Room R, server shutdown
Disrupted – Resolved after 1d 21h 9m
Update 29.06.226 · 16:11 hrs
The services are now available again as usual.
Update 29.06.26 · 08:45 hrs
The air conditioning was put back into operation by Building Management.
The affected services are currently being restored step by step. Please note that there may still be intermittent limitations over the course of the day.
Original notice 27.06.26 · 19:02 hrs
The failure of the air conditioning in the R Building unfortunately forces us to shut down the majority of our IT services. Please also expect restrictions and performance degradation on the other services due to reduced system performance.
Together with Building Management, we are working intensively on a solution.
We will keep you informed here about further developments.
HM Central IT regrets the inconvenience caused!
Note: There is still one unresolved incident affecting this service (see above).
