  1. 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.

    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.

    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.

  2. plesk advisor score functionality needs enhancement

    The Plesk advisor complains about not having installed the Plesk firewall, but it doesn't check iptables rules. I have setup my own iptables rules deriven and enhanced from the Plesk firewall. My setup also supports ipset rules which Plesk doesn't.
    Thus, the advisor score mechanism should check if iptables rules are present and setup sophisticatedly.
    Please refer to: https://talk.plesk.com/threads/plesk-firewall-2-1-5-412-still-has-problems.371747/page-2

  3. Implement OpenApp Sec in Web Application Firewall

    Implement open app sec, as plesk customize the nginx package:

    https://www.openappsec.io/playground
    https://github.com/openappsec/openappsec

    It would be good if is possible to use under plesk because it is a good tool, open source and free, and probably better than comodo/owasp rules.

  4. 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.
    Right now it isn't.

  5. For security reasons: Turn off outputting PHP Version and also Webserver Version

    PHP configuration:
    Add the following Lines for Security Reasons!

    exposephp = off
    server
    tokens off

    Why didn't Plesk decide to make these lines available as options in Plesk, as options?
    In my opinion, no one cares which version I use when it comes to port scanning / Showdan.io. Especially with Showdan.io, you can filter computers that are vulnerable in seconds, e.g. find web servers or PHP versions that are problematic.

    I ask for options in the GUI for ON / OFF, although someone at Plesk should first explain to me why these version numbers of vo, web server Nginx…

  6. 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:

    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.

  7. 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…

  8. 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.

  10. Additional Account Authentication via Email

    This is a request for the implementation of an optional extra layer of authentication via email for customers and resellers who want to login to a Plesk server. Which would improve security by making it much less effective/useful for customers to share their login details with others.

    Although similar in concept to 2FA, this is different than the already available 2FA extension as "email account authentication" poses way less of a barrier to non tech savvy users as no additional apps or devices are needed for authentication. Just email. 

    Ideally it would work something like this: a server administrator could enable "email account authentication" so…

    It seems that Heimdal Agent is a client component of their offer that collects data from a server or interacts with the server. Nothing speaks against installing that on a Plesk maintained server. "Support for Heimdal Agent" probably means that it can be installed as an extension or from a software catalog like APS catalog?

  13. 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-breakdown

    Rotating 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)…

  14. 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.

  16. Add option to mitigate known vulnerabilities by default during installation of WordPress

    There is an option in WP Toolkit to mitigate the Unauth. Blind SSRF vulnerability. However, this may only be applied only once WordPress has already been installed. Please add possibility to secure the instance in this regard (and any other vulnerabilities that might be found later, if such option is added to WP Toolkit) directly when installing WordPress.

    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.

    Plesk Country Firewall
    1) Add a check for duplicate country abbreviations on save.
    2) (x) add checkbox to sort alphabetically
    3) Add a drop down to select the country. Currently you have to look up the country 2 digit code. So add a drop down to select country then add the 2 digit abbreviation.

    Most ISO codes of rogue nations are well known. We think that changes to geo IP blocking are rarely needed. To keep development costs reasonably low, perfect comfort for rarely used features is not a priority. In a server's lifetime it may occur twice that this is changed, so we wonder how often this feature is used in your daily routine that the added comfort is required? Please comment how you determine the countries to be blocked and why you change countries often so that we understand your routine better and can provide a better product while trying to keep license prices low.

  19. Add the ability to require 2FA for accounts.

    Many sites and online providers today require the use of 2FA to secure accounts. It would be great if Plesk could require the same thing (at least for administrative accounts). I think this could really help increase the security posture of the software.

    As it stands now, Google Auth is optional, and a user has the ability to enable/disable it at will, which isn't ideal.

    According to this thread, there are currently areas where 2FA wouldn't currently be possible, but all of these issues have already been solved by other companies. I have no doubt that Plesk could do it…
