PHP security vulnerability: The town of Bocholt switches to a new portal with "Bauakte online"

Due to a recent and serious security vulnerability affecting the PHP programming language, the City of Bocholt has immediately taken the "Bauakte online" service offline.

This preventative measure was essential to ensure the best possible protection of the city's IT infrastructure and the data of all those involved. The previous platform, accessible via the familiar address, is therefore no longer available with immediate effect.

For building owners and designers, this means a swift transition to the City of Bocholt's new online portal. In future, digital applications will be processed securely and efficiently via the address bocholt.meinamt.digital.

Further detailed information on the exact procedure and on digital applications is provided by the local authority on the city's website at bocholt.de/digitale-bauantraege.

The shutdown will also result in temporary adjustments to workflows for the authorities involved, as it is no longer possible to submit comments on ongoing procedures via the previous service.
