Our 365 admin center has pointed out our PHP has vunerablities and needs to be updated to revent exploits.

How do I update PHP? I don't see it in programs.

The version of PHP is what is implemented on your server/host provider. You should contact them and ask what version they are running.
If you are referring to what php version is used in the software that will depend on the version of the software you are using. The current version in WB19 is php 8.xx. To help please say what version of the software you are using
See the following PHP version compatibility

I am the host, this is an internal intranet site.

I was running 15 but I just upgraded to 19.2 will this upgrade PHP as well?

As already mentioned WB19 uses 8.x. It won't automatically update any pages you use php on such as forms etc you will need to do this yourself in the settings of the object(s) (forms) and republish the page to take affect. You should also check what version you are running as you self host to ensure compatibility. Also see the previous link on this.

I use forms and I looked at the object properties but don't see any verisons.

Where would I check the verison I'm running?

I have a stupid question. You are aware that if you are the host you should upgrade your server's PHP manually from time to time, right?

Ok, NM Google helped.

I was running 8.0.9, I downloaded 8.3.8 and changed the veriables in system properties.
