KACE extends its PHP2SHELL fix to the SDA deployment appliance, six days after disclosure.

◆Current state
KACE has now patched the critical PHP2SHELL vulnerabilities across both appliances: SMA 15.1 and 15.0 on October 23, and the SDA 9.3 deployment appliance on October 27. SMA also gained official support for Windows 11 26H2 agents and patches, following KACE Cloud's 26H2 support a few days earlier.
◆Where it's heading
The changelog is dominated by security response and OS-version coverage, with both SMA branches patched in lockstep. Feature work is limited to agent reliability fixes. KACE behaves like a maintained endpoint-management line rather than one being redirected.
◆Prediction
Expect November Patch Tuesday content and further cumulative patches on both SMA branches. The entries don't point to new feature work.
