  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

Question about Plesk 11.0.9 critical security update MU23

fran@

Basic Pleskian
I appreciate that Parallels Plesk releases a malware removal tool about 10 months after the February attack, but I just read the information released about Plesk 11.0.9 MU#23 and the malware removal tool, and I can't figure how it'll work:

We have upgraded the servers that had Plesk 9.x and 10.x in February to Plesk 11.0.9.
I understand that they might still be hidden malware waiting to be exploited, and It'd be neat to be able to remove it.

My first question is:
Will the malware removal tool be ran automatically after the MU#23 update or will it be made available for us to run manually?

I know Parallels has improved the quality of their MU, but before applying #23 i'd like to know ho this malware removal tool works and will there be any impact on the live sites if any malware is found and removed ?
Do we have any control about what it does?

The 8.x and 9.x php scripts are encrypted: No way to check.
