PCI compliance for Merchants using Magento Commerce 2.2.0-2.2.9 may be at risk as of November 30, 2019, due to the end of support for PHP 7.1

Merchants that are currently using Magento Commerce 2.2.0-2.2.9 need to address this issue promptly by upgrading to the next release of Magento Commerce 2.2 when it becomes available this month, i.e., October 2019. However, please note that since the scheduled end of support for all the versions of Magento Commerce 2.2 end on December 31, it is essential that you update directly to the latest version of Magento Commerce 2.3. PHP 7.1 will only be providing security fixes. Hence, you need to migrate to PHP 7.2 or 7.3 version at the earliest.  For more information on the latest happenings in the field of Magento development,keep reading this space!
