Issue SELinux error message - write access on the file passwd.db

Freddie Bleiweiss

Basic Pleskian
I am running Plesk Onyx 17.8.11 Update #55 on CentOS Linux 7.6.1810 (Core). The following error SELinux error is reoccurring in the messages log every minute.

Question: Is this a hack attempt or a bug? I'm hesitant to allow this action without knowing the possible repercussions.
