  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question Does running PHP 5 on Plesk Version 17.8.11 Update #50 have security risk?

New Pleskian
I am running some sites on PHP 5.6 on Plesk Version 17.8.11 Update #50.

Does this situation brings security risks to the server itself (apart from its risks of the sites running PHP 5.6?

Thanks.
 
It depends on the type of attack. In some cases, there may be a complete failure of the web server.
 
Are there any known vanilla PHP 5.6.40 vulnerabilities out there?

I know that the official upstream support ended with Dec 31st, 2018.
