Important Website Update: Global PHP Security Issue Affecting Website Services
21 October 2026
Mundys would like to inform customers of a global PHP security issue that has prompted urgent security updates across websites and web-hosting services worldwide.
PHP is a programming language used by a large proportion of websites, including many built on WordPress. On 21 October, the PHP development team released emergency security updates to address two critical vulnerabilities that could potentially allow attackers to run malicious code on affected servers. Website operators and hosting providers are being urged to apply the necessary security updates as quickly as possible. Read the official PHP security announcement.
How does this affect our website?
As hosting providers and technology companies work to address this wider security issue, some website services and third-party integrations may experience temporary disruption.
At present, some property photographs on the Mundys website may be unavailable because they are supplied through a third-party property service. This is a technical issue affecting the display of images, rather than the availability of the property listings themselves.
All our property listings remain available to browse on our website.
Although photographs may temporarily be missing, customers can continue to view individual property details and access the property brochures provided as PDF documents.
For example, you can still view the brochure for Oxton Road, Southwell.
Is this a problem specific to Mundys?
No. The PHP security vulnerabilities are part of a wider, industry-wide issue affecting the technology used by websites around the world. The security updates are being managed by the relevant software developers and hosting providers.
The temporary absence of property photographs relates to our third-party image service. We are keeping the situation under review while the relevant technical issues are addressed.
Thank you for your patience
We understand how important property photographs are when searching for a home, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused by their temporary unavailability.
In the meantime, you can continue to browse our available properties, read the descriptions and view the downloadable property brochures on individual listings.
We will continue to monitor the situation and appreciate your patience while normal service is restored.
