update PHP 5.2.5 on plesk 8.3

[atinoco]

Greetings

today one of my clients website got hacked, I ran a nessus security scan on my server to see if we had any vulnerabilities. it found a critical vulnerability in php, we run a windows 2003 server with plesk 8.3.0.1 that comes with PHP 5.2.5 by default.

nessus mentions several critical vulnerabilities for PHP < 5.2.5, 5.2.6 and 5.2.7 and gives warnings for PHP < 5.2.10

is there a way to safely update PHP 5 to the latest (php 5.2.10) without breaking the server or plesk? I haven't updated php before, so i don't want to mess my server up.

i tried the knowledge base but there's nothing there

Thanks in Advance

-Andres
