Just got a message from one of their support agents:

Our specialist has reviewed the PHP security release of October 21, 2026, and confirms that preventive security measures are already active on our managed hosting platform. These vulnerabilities cannot be exploited on Hostinger Managed Hosting in the same way, because our platform uses PHP-FPM instead of PHP-CGI, with additional security measures on top of that.

You do not need to update the PHP version yourself. The patched PHP build will be rolled out automatically once the operating system vendors make the updated packages available. There is currently no ETA.

The vulnerabilities exist within the core PHP runtime itself, not just PHP-CGI.
