    Resolved SSL It! - ssl_prefer_server_ciphers off

    Could you check the output of the following command? plesk bin server_pref --show | grep ssl-cipher-server-order By default it should be: ssl-cipher-server-order: true If it is `false`, then probably you ran `plesk sbin pci_compliance_resolver --enable` previously. Anyway, this is...

    Question Webspaces... a good or bad idea?

    Question Plesk Onyx LogJam

    OpenSSL writes this message when cannot write default seeding file: https://www.openssl.org/docs/faq.html#USER2 You can ignore it, because openssl does not need to use default seeding file on Linux, because /dev/urandom is available. So, this is small bug in OpenSSL. We will document and maybe...

    Question Plesk Onyx LogJam

    There are actually two problems which people mean by "Logjam": 1. Logjam attack against the TLS protocol. It can be prevented by disabling export cipher suites. They are disabled by default in OpenSSL. Neither Plesk nor default configurations of services managed by Plesk enable export cipher...

    Resolved Maybe a potential security problem in 12.5?

    PHPSESSID is always set as so called "Session cookie", i.e. there is no expiration date assigned to it: Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=e17d5942de2140ae71d0cdfa827e3c41; path=/; secure; httponly This behaviour does not change in Plesk 12.5. User agent "sessions" are mentioned in RFC 6265: But this...

    Question Possible security issue?

    Yes, this is already done in Plesk 17.0. I hope this will be backported to Plesk 12.5 soon. Thank you. "disable_symlinks if_not_owner" is in effect (and is required for security) only when Serve static files directly by nginx is switched on. Otherwise Apache serves static files using...

    Question Possible security issue?

    Perl scripts served by apaches's `mod_perl` are executed with apache's rights, so yes, this is insecure in shared hosting environment: it is possible to read/write files accessible to apache system user.

    Question Possible security issue?

    Hello, Sorry for the delay. This is known issue. It was addressed in Plesk 12.0: the option Restrict the ability to follow symbolic links was introduced. But this option is switched off by default, because it breaks some applications. (At that moment some widely used applications, e.g. Drupal...

    Resolved fault http_proxy or not impacted?

    I guess Plesk for Windows 12.5, maybe 12.0 will be updated. I do not think Plesk 11.5 will be updated, because this issue is not critical (there are workarounds). Plesk 11 is now in “Extended Support” phase that means that it continue to receive patches only for critical issues...

    Hello, This is very interesting question. I would love to find such resource too =). I would be glad if you would continue to share you experience.

    So, you use "Apache module" handler type. The documentation says: I advice to switch to "PHP-FPM application" handler type. However, PHP scripts should be executed with apache, not root rights.
