  1. Automatic/option for hiding of Plesk, PHP, Apache, Nginx, Wordpress, Drupal, etc. 'reveals'

    It would be so useful to accommodate one hardening feature, and that would be to switch on/off the server reveal options for Nginx/Apache (Lightspeed, whatever), the expose_php attribute for the version number in PHP (and equivalent in Perl, etc.), the Wordpress/Drupal (and Joomla, etc.), reveal of their presence and version numbers. See this article for the cybersecurity relevance of that (there's a lot more on the 'securityheaders.com' website and free checkers for all of this there too), but I pick this as an illustration of what I'm referring to with php:

    All of these things are simple, and just…

    Thank you for your idea! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

    Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

    Here I'd like to add, though, that in the real world attackers simply test a website against all known vulnerabilities, regardless what webserver, PHP or other software version they detect. Actually, such version information are of no interest, they simply drive tests against all known flaws. So adding the feature will probably not help against hacking attempts.

  2. Oversign Emails' DKIM From, To, and CC headers

    As in:
    https://proton.me/blog/dkim-replay-attack-breakdown

    Oversign 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.

  3. change ALL "http"- to "https"-connections for Plesk-updates and -upgrades

    Change ALL "http"- to "https"-connections for Plesk-updates and -upgrades:

    http://autoinstall.plesk.com
    http://archive.ubuntu.com
    etc…

    This is an unforgiveable severe security bug!

  4. Firewall, Remote Adress(es): input a lot of remote adresses at once.

    In the Firewall settings, to input remote adress(es) to block or allow, it would be usefull, to input a lot of remote adresses, just to block or allow a whole company at once (after getting their adresses from ipinfo.io, for example).

    Actually I get spam, check remote IP (at dnslytics.com for example) and block that IP, if wanted.
    After getting a lot of these mails from IP adresses of the same company, I get the IP adresses from that company and block all the known IP ranges...one by one.
    That could be 100s or more and take too much time.…

  5. Ability to monitor clients uploads via FTP or File Manager

    It would be nice to have the ability to detect customer uploads via FTP or File Manager. So it will be possible to check files afterwards.

    At the moment you can only choose the OWASP ruleset in the Plesk UI for ModSecurity 3 (nginx). Please add support to Atomicorp rulesets as well.

  10. Disable/Enable access to plesk web interface

    I want stop plesk web interface without side effects for the services. I only mean the access as client in the browser. I'm thinking about disabling the web interface via the shell to avoid the many login attempts, to increase security and if you need the web interface yourself, you can temporarily enable it via the shell.

    or

    Here is already a feature "Restricting Administrative Access" per ip address. https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/administrator-guide/plesk-administration/securing-plesk/restricting-administrative-access.59465/ Nice, but most of us have a dynamic ip address. So it would be nice if you could set the allowed IP(s) via the shell and delete old invalid IPs…

  11. Preset "webmail" and other checkboxes upon SSL certificate creation or reissuing as "checked"

    Please provide a possibility to secure webmail automatically if webmail.example.com exists in Plesk.

    This can be done by auto-selecting "Secure webmail on this domain" during a certificate creation for example.com.

    As it currently stands, end users get confused by the feature.

    The more Plesk can simplify this process for end-users, the less support will be required for my customers.

  12. Centralized SSL Certificate Support

    I would like if you guys can add Centralized SSL Certificate Support in Plesk GUI, it would be easy to manage,
    as I had added a UNC path (\172.16.0.11\shared-certificates) in my Plesk via command line but now I cannot switch back to local path (C:\shared-certificates) as it was configured with UNC path & if I add a local path via command line, it says that the UNC path is not available even though I am using local path.

  13. separate user group for iwpd users

    For plesk on windows

    It would be helpful if plesk created a separate user group for all IWPD users.

    That would allow me to set specific security settings to that group.

    See this kb article as an example: https://www.plesk.com/kb/support/access-to-cmd-exe-and-powershell-exe-how-to-allow-it-to-subscription-users-and-deny-to-iis-users-on-a-plesk-server/

    Because the IWPD user and account user are in the same psacln group we cannot use that group to block cmd or powershell access (since the domain account apparently needs to be able to run those commands).

    The workaround revolves around manually creating a new security group and manually adding those users to the new group, the obvious problem with that…

  15. Use FSRM to block the execution of binaries and scripts in vhosts folder in Plesk Windows

    Provide the ability to use File Server Resource Monitor to block the execution of *.bat, *.exe and *.cmd that are executables which can contain malicious code or malware and thus we don't allow them to be executed by customer by any means. The use of FSRM blocks the installation of WordPress, Joomla and woocommerce because it needs permission to run scripts in vhosts folders.

  16. Stop postfix from delivering mail locally when MX record points externally to avoid mailbox hijack e.g. @gmail.com addresses.

    Prevent mail interception / hijack where any customer can create domains when not prohibited explicitly and intercept for example a john.doe@gmail.com mailbox because SMTP will deliver this locally if the mailbox exists.

    Almost every domain on the internet does have its own MX record and many of them are operate their own email server (not only Gmail). Why not address this potential security issue by checking MX records not only if the domain exists locally.

    Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

    For the time being, please consider using Tools & Settings > Security > Prohibited Domain Names to prevent users from creating well-known domain names in their accounts.

  17. add sshd to services list for restart or enabling on demand

    Sometimes it's usefuil to be able to restart the sshd service, especially if the service is not reachable anymore. For increased security it could also be usefull to enable sshd only if needed other the panel.

  18. Plesk Admin Login - Enable IP Address Locking. In other words, like a firewall, specify the IP address source

    Plesk Admin Login - Enable IP Address Locking. In other words, like a firewall, specify the IP address source.

    This simply eliminates concerns about password hacking as a Dedicated IP (source location) can be specified just like Remote Desktop.

  19. Deprecate clear domain names as home directory

    Since plesk is storing each vhost as clear domain name, every user wit shell access is able to see which domains/customers are on this host, eg. with > getenv passwd

    We know we can chroot the user but chroot is NOT a security feature and makes trouble with applications the user might expect (or the environment these applications expect) - and there is still a way to break out from the environment or new ways get discovered. Much afford for nothing in the end.

    We do not want to put customers in containers, jails whatsoever to restrict the user access…
