[Resolved] Emergency Changes to the Pingdom Public API

Began: Ended: Duration:
  • Public API

As part of our emergency mitigation for the recently discovered PHP vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), the Pingdom API now requires requests to include a User-Agent header. Please update your integration to include a descriptive value, such as:

User-Agent: MyCompany-PingdomIntegration/1.0 (Replace MyCompany with your company name or the name/use of your integration)

We apologize that we were unable to communicate this change in advance. Please contact us if you have any questions, issues, or concerns.
