  • 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.

Almalinux 8.10
Plesk version and microupdate number
Obsidian 18.0.62 #2
On of our customers hired a firm to do a pentest on their infrastructure.
They came up with the following issue.
Is this something Plesk can replace?

Description:
The Prototype JavaScript library version 1.7.3 contains a vulnerability
CVE202027511 that allows attackers to execute a Regular Expression Denial of
Service ReDoS attack. This vulnerability exists in the stripTags and unescapeHTML
functions, where crafted HTML tags can be used to cause excessive backtracking in
regular expressions, leading to significant performance degradation.

Remediation:
Upgrade the Prototype library to the latest version to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
Check the official Prototype GitHub Repository (GitHub - prototypejs/prototype: Prototype JavaScript framework) for more information.
