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 add or delete grades/results for a pupil?

Make sure that you're using the series that you need to remove the grades from.

Go to Admin > Edit Results

If you are adding a grade/result, find the pupil on the left and look across the subject columns. Click on the relevant cell and use the dropdown menu to select a grade. 

If you are removing a grade/result, click on the relevant grade and use the dropdown menu to select the 'blank' value,

Alternatively, If you want to remove grades for a subject from all series for a single pupil you can use Admin >Edit Pupil. Click on the student and a panel will appear on the right hand side.

In the Results tab, click on the subject you wish to remove grades from and use the buttons at the bottom to choose to remove results from 'This Series' or 'All Series'.  

NOTE: if you remove from All Series this is irreversible and will remove all records for the subject for that student.
