Hi Feren

You should include both CGI and PHP in your "Server Technologies". PHP can be used as a module or CGI program. Should it, but any unfortunate reason, be used as CGI, then the server can be open to vulnerabilities you should worry about. The usage of PHP does not imply CGI - and vice versa.

Use this link as reference to short description of server technologies: https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/waf-declarative-policy/server_technology.html
