• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey.

  • 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.

Hello,

How to upgrade ModSecurity 3.0 (nginx) to 3.0.8 safely ?

I use ModSecurity 3.0 + OWASP, and in the documentation of OWASP, a notice is mentioned:

From CRS 3.2.2, 3.3.3 and up, ModSecurity 2.9.6 or 3.0.8 (or versions with backported patches) are required due to the addition of new protections. We recommend upgrading your ModSecurity as soon as possible. If your ModSecurity is too old, your webserver will refuse to start with an Unknown variable: &MULTIPART_PART_HEADERS error. If you are in trouble, you can temporarily delete file rules/REQUEST-922-MULTIPART-ATTACK.conf as a workaround and get your server up, however, you will be missing some protections. Therefore we recommend to upgrade ModSecurity before deploying this release.
 
ModSecurty 3.0.8 was part of the 18.0.48 update that was published November 2022. If you are using 18.0.48 you should also have ModSecurity 3.0.8 automatically. If you have not updated Plesk it is advised to do so soon.
