This will be way worse than log4shell, which is still a problem, as sooooooo many php servers are plain unmaintained and also php is used on maaany wrbinterfaces for devices like.routers, firewalls, IoT etc. which will never see an update ever. Log4shell was more enterprise and not that ubiquitous like php.
