  1. Deny access to all dot files by default

    A lot of web applications that are either built or simply installed on a website use dot files and folders, whether those be .htaccess, .git, .env, etc.

    Generally speaking dot files and folders are used to store either sensitive files or backend configuration which you would never want users to be able to access.

    By default Apache has some protection built-in to restrict accessing dot files, but Nginx does not. This creates a potential security risk, for example I might install a web application or build one which has dot files in the public root, these most likely would be…

  3. fail2ban - Add Details (Login Name)

    Often large Companies with lot's of Workstation are getting blocked because 1 Client in their Office is trying to log in with wrong Password (imap/pop/smtp) - then the whole Office of them is getting blocked and the search which PC/which User is causing the block.starts ...
    It would help big times if one got a reference which Login Name / Username caused the block as additional Info next to the IP ...
    Won't help on Brute Force Attacks where the Username changes ... but on this Scenario it would be a big Timesaver ...

  8. Disk encryption

    Disk level encryption.
    Similar to what AWS offers with RDS.
    Encryption at rest for the entire server rather than doing it column by column manually.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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

  12. 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.

  15. 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).

    AFAIU, 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!

  16. 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…

  17. 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…

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
