Security Update – PHP Vulnerability

We are aware of the recent critical PHP security vulnerabilities highlighted by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) on 21st October 2026.

We would like to reassure customers that our main platforms, 4Matrix Cloud and 4Matrix Fusion, do not use PHP and are therefore not directly affected by these vulnerabilities.

PHP is used within some of our supporting systems, including our customer support ticketing and billing systems. Our desktop application also communicates with our sales system for licence verification. These systems do not store customers' payment details or sensitive information as part of the licence verification process.

We have been in contact with our hosting provider, Krystal, who has confirmed that the necessary security fixes have been applied to address the reported vulnerabilities.

No action is required from our customers in relation to this advisory.

We take the security of our systems and customer information seriously and will continue to monitor security developments and work with our hosting provider to maintain appropriate protections.

How do I change the proxy settings for 4Matrix?

In the 4Matrix Network Manager click Run Wizard.

Skip through the steps until you reach the Proxy Settings - overwrite the address and port if you need to. Finish the wizard and the change will be instant, no further action is required.

If you are finding that 4Matrix is not detecting the proxy settings automatically, go back to the proxy settings (as above) and type AUTO in the address field. Leave the port field blank. Finish the wizard. Restart 4Matrix and check if this has resolved the problem.
