  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

apache and tmp upload

MattYM@

New Pleskian
hi,

My brain is fried today, I have a website on my plesk server somewhere which is allowing someone to upload a perl script which is seen as a .txt file then try and execute it as the user apache. Earlier on I had loads of wget processes running downloading a page several times in an attempt to fill up my /tmp folder. I have no execute set on /tmp.

Is there an easy way to find out which site is being exploited?

Everything is owned and run by apache so tearing my hair out trying to track it down.

thanks

matt
 
Hello,

It's very hard to find to out the exact domain name OR user using is uploading the perl scripts /tmp directory due Apache user ownership. But I will suggest you please scan your whole server with the LMD scanner and delete all infected files from your server. May be there is a shell script present under your one of the domain and hacker is uploading the perl scripts through that script.
