Summary

Lean Coffee Table has determined that there is currently no evidence of exposure or compromise
resulting from the PHP2Shell vulnerability.

Details

Lean Coffee Table does not use PHP for our main website we do however make use of Word Press which is a PHP application and hosted in a separate data centre to our main site for news articles.

On the 21 October 2026 out of an abundance of caution Lean Coffee Table blocked access to our Word Press Blog from the Internet so we could asses the situation as part of procedures found in our Information Security Management System.

We pulled down the logs files from the server and analysed them for traces of the PHP2Shell exploit and found none. We then contacted our hosting provider regarding the exploit who advised us they had blocked the signature for the attack at the firewall and that it was not necessary to block access to our blog system as their in-house security team had proactively acted on the announcement made by the PHP team.

If you require further information, please contact us.

Dark Mode in Retro’s

We’ve heard you, dark mode wasn’t quite working before and we’ve now gone and fixed it! 

The order of retro cards kept on changing

This was a frustrating one. We were frustrated by it too! We also use Lean Coffee Table for our own Retrospectives and nothing is more frustrating than your Retro topics ordered by vote suddenly not being ordered. This has now been fixed, but if you find any more issues, please let us know. 

Need someone else to facilitate?

What if I am on holiday and I need my colleague to facilitate my meeting?
By popular request, we have added the ability to make an attendee into a facilitator to allow them to facilitate or co-facilitate a meeting.

This feature is for “Invite Only” boards.

Let’s take a look!

After setting the board visibility to the above setting, you can change any invited attendee to a facilitator by clicking on the attendee.

Then click “Make Facilitator”

Note that the user will only be a facilitator in the current meeting. 

We’ve given it a revamp

We are excited to announce the release of our revamped Zoom integration! The new design is not only more visually appealing but also much easier to navigate. With just a few clicks, you can start your meeting and collaborate with others in real-time. We believe this update will greatly enhance your experience on our platform and make it even easier for you to connect with others.

Just a reminder

When using our Zoom integration, copy the Zoom link and click “Set Conference Link”

Other key improvements include:

• The addition of a ‘go with the flow’ option at the end of a timed discussion. This horizontal thumb is for those that don’t have a strong opinion either way.
• Users can edit and delete their actions or learnings (Editing comments is coming soon)
• You have a greater choice of timer sounds…
  and we’ve changed the default too!
