Block user access after failed attempts
It would be great to implement in Plesk a new feature.
When there are X failed attempts, in Plesk there should be the possibility to block automatically the access to the customer account (completely or for a certain period of time).
As per now, Plesk block the IP address via Fail2ban, but this is not the feature that we need. We just want to block the access completely or temporarily for the affected login.

OWASP security recommendation hide php version from web server by default
I've noticed that in a default plesk installation the web server is configured to disclose php version. This could be exploited especially with a lot of websites running insecure php versions still.
I think it's not much trouble to implement this simple "security through obscurity" step to not disclose this information and help attackers detect vulnerabilities in PHP itself.

Make default Plesk Firewall rules more strict
Right now "System policy for outgoing traffic" rule is set to allow all outgoing traffic as default which is not secure enough.
Please consider to make default firewall rules for outgoing traffic more secure and allow only Plesk services to send outgoing packets

Restrict webmail based on IP address
It would be great to have a way to limit webmail access for a given domain by IP address, so that the client has to be in their office network, or VPNed in to their office in order to access webmail.domain.tld

Allow to register all let's encrypt certificates with a freely configurable ACME ID
Customer has around 2000 domains and hitting the weekly limit for the new certificates. All domains have different ACME IDs
Customer reached Let's Encrypt support and they agreed to increase limits but require to provide "his own dedicated ACME ID". This feature is required to get such dedicated id.
This is useful when a lot of domains were migrated to another server and it is required to secure them quickly without reaching limits.

Set right ciphers by default on Windows
There is a documentation how to do it manually: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/administrator-guide/plesk-administration/securing-plesk/pci-dss-compliance/tune-plesk-to-meet-pci-dss-on-windows.78901/
but there is no tool to do it automatically (and by default during the installation).
4 votesAFAIU, the request is about right ciphers for SSL configuration. We have a documentation how to do it manually: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/administrator-guide/plesk-administration/securing-plesk/pci-dss-compliance/tune-plesk-to-meet-pci-dss-on-windows.78901/ but have no tool to do it automatically, so, this is a valid request, we’ll look into it.
There is no ETA at the moment, but we would really appreciate you voting for this request so that we can accurately assess its popularity relative to other features. Thanks in advance!

Iptables: Allow Rules via the shell
Our Intrusion prevention system CrowdSec adds one rule having a blacklist to Ipables.
If you manipulate the rules in the UI, Plesk rewrites all rules. Therefore manually added rules are no more available.
This could be fixed very simple by having an additional script, which will be called after saving the rules by the UI.

Require domain TXT record verification before adding domain to Plesk.
Require domain TXT record verification before adding domain to Plesk.
Plesk need to implement an option to require domains to be verified like for example Let's Encrypt with a TXT record with a key value, that Plesk can check on an admin specified interval like 5 mins perhaps, with a self-cleaning feature that removes un-verified domains after X days.
So as Plesk administrator you can activate the domain verification option on subscription level, that requires the customers to verify their domain, when using the function "add domain".
So "add domain" should have an initial state of "awaiting verification" before it…

Add possibility in ModSecurity to configure real-time file scan when files are uploaded
It would be great to add possibility in ModSecurity to configure real-time file scan when files are uploaded: https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/wiki/Reference-Manual-(v2.x)#files_tmpnames
Such feature will allow the Plesk administrator to configure some Perl scripts to analize all the files uploaded by the users.

Let pci_compliance_resolver --enable postfix also set FORWARD SECURITY and go dor TLSv1.3
Even though server supports TLS 1.2, the cipher suite configuration is suboptimal. It is recommend to configure the server so that the cipher suites providing forward secrecy (ECDHE or DHE in the name, in this order of preference) and authenticated encryption (GCM or CHACHA20 in the name) are at the top. The server must also be configured to select the best-available suite!
also there is TLSv3 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8446
(and draft is used already a long time by many;)http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html
And while Playing on Mailserver think about MTA Strict Transport Security (Draft standard) and Email DANE / TLSA.

Anonymize IP in logs instead of disabling them completely
It would be great to have an option to anonymize IP addresses, not to disable it completely to get rid of issues with statistics displaying. For example as it is for Plesk on Linux.
Currently, Plesk for Windows has an option to completely disable IP addresses logging In Tools & Settings > Server Settings which affects web statistics.

Track who changed the Plesk Administrator password
The idea is to know who and when changed the Plesk admin password. If it's from CLI, what user (usually root), or if it's on GUI, what IP.
That should be noted in the action log.

Modify Wordpress integrity checker for security optimisations
So if I create a new Wordpress installation and then I make certain minor security adjustments that are highly recommended in cybersecurity forums, then I will get errors that it is broken through Plesk. I will then forever more be warned that it is broken in Plesk (not in Wordpress) on account of absence of those files, which (as I say) is a deliberate choice I made).
Ideally this would be modified in the install process (e.g. question: "Would you like to remove the readme and license files after installation?" (then explain why it is important to in a hover…

Harden Your PHP for Better Security
We should all consider PHP security, giving us the option to Harden our PHP through the GUI or add an optimizer that does it automatically by scanning the websites.

DKIM Weekly Rotation of key, with new 'selector' where previous selector is removed the next week
As in:
https://proton.me/blog/dkim-replay-attack-breakdownRotating DKIM is highly important.
Currently, it' **** easy to rotate the DKIM key on Plesk, not to talk of updating DNS and running Route 53 update.
This is asked to be implmented, where a second key is added, and new mails use it.
Old key would be depreciated a week later, as previous emails are still in the progress.
Rotate your DKIM keys regularly – Rotating our DKIM keys allowed us to quickly stop the attack and buy time for the permanent solution. Although tedious and risky to do manually, Proton’s DKIM key management system(new window)…

Oversign Emails' DKIM From, To, and CC headers
As in:
https://proton.me/blog/dkim-replay-attack-breakdownOversign From, To, and CC headers – Most DKIM implementations always sign the From, To, and CC headers if they are present in an email, preventing them from being modified if the message is resent. However, if these headers are missing, they are often unsigned, opening the door to replay attacks with forged headers that make the fraudulent emails seem legitimate. Oversigning mitigates these attacks by signing these sensitive headers in all cases, even if they are blank. If you use Proton to send your email, this oversigning is done for you automatically by our mail servers.
