𝗦𝗡𝗟𝗖 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 : 𝗱𝗲𝘂𝘅 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱é𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝘂𝗺é𝗿𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲 Les journées des 28 et 29 octobre 2026 de la 2ᵉ édition de la Semaine nationale de lutte contre la cybercriminalité (SNLC) ont été marquées par la tenue de deux panels de réflexion et de sensibilisation consacrés aux enjeux de sécurité dans l’espace numérique. Ces rencontres ont réuni des experts et des acteurs de divers horizons autour des menaces numériques qui pèsent sur la sûreté de l’État, la cohésion sociale et la sécurité des citoyens. Le premier panel, placé sous le thème « Menaces informationnelles et discours religieux à l’ère du numérique : quels défis pour la sûreté de l’État et la cohésion sociale ? », a permis de mettre en lumière les risques liés à la diffusion de contenus préjudiciables sur les plateformes numériques. Les échanges ont également souligné la nécessité de renforcer la vigilance collective face aux discours susceptibles de fragiliser la paix sociale et la sécurité nationale. Quant au deuxième panel, consacré au thème « Escroqueries en ligne : comment mieux protéger les citoyens et renforcer la confiance dans les services numériques ? », il a porté sur les différentes formes d’escroquerie, les mécanismes de manipulation des victimes et les mesures de prévention. Les échanges ont notamment insisté sur l’adoption de bons réflexes de sécurité et la promotion de comportements responsables pour mieux protéger les populations et renforcer la confiance dans les services numériques. Animés par des experts nationaux issus des secteurs public et privé, ces deux panels ont bénéficié de la complémentarité des expériences et des expertises des intervenants, ce qui a permis d'enrichir les débats et de mieux cerner les défis de la lutte contre la cybercriminalité au Burkina Faso. À travers ces échanges, la SNLC 2026 réaffirme l’importance de la sensibilisation, de la responsabilité numérique et de la mobilisation collective pour bâtir un espace numérique plus sûr et digne de confiance.

VALORISATION DES DÉCHETS D’ABATTAGE : LE PRAPS 2-BF DOTE L’ABATTOIR MODERNE DE OUAHIGOUYA D’UN BIODIGESTEUR INDUSTRIEL À Ouahigouya, dans la région de Yaadga, les déchets d’abattage se transforment en une source d’énergie et de fertilisants organiques. Grâce à l’appui du Projet régional d’appui au pastoralisme au Sahel, phase 2, Burkina Faso (PRAPS 2-BF), l’abattoir moderne de Ouahigouya dispose d’un biodigesteur industriel capable de produire jusqu’à 200 m³ de biogaz par jour, pour une production énergétique annoncée d’environ 400 kilowattheures. Cette infrastructure contribue à l’autonomie électrique de l’abattoir, tout en améliorant la gestion des déchets issus des activités d’abattage et en favorisant leur valorisation agricole. Une innovation qui allie assainissement, énergie et économie circulaire au service du développement de la filière animale.

The FBI continues to warn about two critical security flaws in PHP, a programming language used to build many websites and online services. Attackers could exploit these vulnerabilities to break into systems, putting sensitive information and business operations at risk. Security updates are available and should be applied immediately. If you are a business owner or website operator, check whether your systems are affected. Contact your IT support team, website developer, or hosting provider for help identifying vulnerable systems and applying the necessary updates. The FBI urges organizations to take the following steps now: ➡️ If an immediate update is not feasible it is recommended that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. ➡️ Immediately update affected PHP installations following the guidance on php.net. Inventory where PHP runs in your environment, prioritizing internet-facing systems and vendor products that bundle PHP. ➡️ Monitor web servers for suspicious activity, including PHP processes unexpectedly launching command shells or downloading files. Ensure appropriate process-monitoring capabilities are in place to help identify potential exploitation. ➡️ If you find signs of compromise, isolate affected systems, preserve your web server and PHP logs, and report it to your local FBI field office or ic3.gov. Those reports help us identify the actors involved and warn other organizations before they become victims. For the latest information on these vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), follow PHP’s announcements on php.net, CERT-EU Security Advisory 2026-018, and CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

Call me paranoid, but be extra careful visiting ANY web site in the next few days, as some web admins are not always up-to-date with security patches. Two vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) reported for PHP, the web programming language, affecting servers running popular apps like WordPress and Magento, with patches released October 21, 2026 after details leaked early. Exploitation was confirmed in the wild soon after disclosure, prompting quick WAF protections and patching by IT teams, as unauthenticated attacks could turn visited sites into vectors for credential theft or device exploits. Stay SAFU!

‼️BREAKING: PHP has released its fix for the two leaked flaws, which can let attackers run code on servers without logging in. "There are no complete mitigations, updating is the only safe choice," PHP says. Update to PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 or 8.2.35 now. PHP says Apache with mod_php is most at risk, with a demonstrated exploit that fires before any application code runs. PHP 8.1 and older get no official update, though PHP has published source backports for 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1.

The PHP project has released fixes for 2 critical vulnerabilities affecting servers that host PHP applications. Site owners and technical teams should confirm their hosting provider’s update plan and update PHP immediately. Versions before PHP 8.2 no longer receive security updates. These issues are not specific to WordPress, and no WordPress update is required. wp.me/pZhYe-5Gb

Government agencies and companies around the world have shut down websites after two critical flaws came to light involving PHP, a programming language that is the basis for a large share of the internet. The US National Security Agency told organisations to patch immediately or pull vulnerable systems offline. The flaws "often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database," the NSA said in a statement on X. Attackers could use them to take over web servers without needing a password. PHP sits underneath popular web design platforms so the weaknesses potentially affect a vast range of websites, from online stores and news outlets to government services. The discovery came amid a surge in software security disclosures driven by increasingly powerful AI models, with the number of vulnerabilities found in 2026 on track to roughly double last year's record total. PHP volunteers have released a fix. "If you run PHP, it is imperative that you update now," the PHP Foundation, which funds developers working on the language, said in a blog post.

Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

The NCSC is encouraging UK organisations to prepare for immediate updating of systems using PHP. Where immediate remediation is not feasible, organisations should consider taking the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. For more⬇️ ncsc.gov.uk/news/critical-se…
