Periodically, newer versions are released for PHP software either due to security flaws or to include additional functionality. Using the latest PHP version for API apps is recommended in order to take advantage of security fixes, if any, and/or new functionalities of the latest version. We recommend all customers who are still using API Apps to implement the built-in policy called 'App Service apps that use PHP should use the latest 'PHP version'', which is scoped to include API apps.

Assessment(s)
Assessments count: 1 Assessment Id: 6b86d069-b3c3-b4d7-47c7-e73ddf786a63 DisplayName: PHP should be updated to the latest version for API apps Description: It's important to regularly update the PHP software used in API apps to the latest version. Newer versions often include security fixes and additional functionalities. If not updated, the API apps may be exposed to security vulnerabilities present in older versions, potentially leading to breaches. Additionally, staying updated allows the apps to benefit from the new features and improvements introduced in the latest versions.
