PHP Updates - How does this work?

Hi,

I'm familiar with how to install available PHP versions within WHM using EasyApache. But what if one of those versions of PHP need updating to address a vulnerability?  For example, we have PHP 8.3.3 installed.  There's a vulnerability that is addressed in PHP 8.3.8.  But we don't have that version available.  Is PHP updated with cPanel updates or is there some way we can manually update PHP?  TY

  cPanel determines the minor versions of the main PHP versions itself, uses the current stable versions, and sends them to you as RPM.

  If there is a security vulnerability in a PHP version, cPanel tests the patched and released new PHP version and sends it to the update servers. If automatic updates are enabled on your server, this PHP version is automatically updated.

  If you do not want to wait for the automatic update, all you need to do is run the "yum upgrade" command.
