• The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

MySQL root user overwrite

jas8522

Basic Pleskian
There seems to be a problem (at least in the FreeBSD version) where if any user decides to create the user "root" using the database manager in Plesk, it will overwrite the current root user.

It's not a major security risk as the root privaleges do not transfer to this user, but it is an annoyance as it will basically remove the current root user.

root should probably be disallowed as an available user.

We also created a new user and then tried to create another with the same name, and of course that said "existing user with this name" so we can assume that this only happens with root, as it is a built in username that is not created with the dbwebadmin.

Hopefully this will work its way into the next version!
