PHP / Re: CWP system PHP 8.3.36 UPDATE (CVE)
« Last post by 6Sense on October 24, 2026, 12:53:31 PM »I'm confused.
On Alma 8.1 & CWP 1.23 (PHP FPM all updated to patched version). The CWP services however are still running on the existing PHP 7.2 runtime.
I can see the new update script, I imagine it is supposed to install the 8.3 update (/scripts/update_cwpphp83). This script though doesn't seem to be called by the cron when I run /scripts/update_cwp, twice or otherwise. I haven't run it directly as not sure what it will do.
/usr/local/cwp/.conf/.cwpphp83.done does not exist.
I'm thinking the bones are there but for me the update is not being tiggered.

/usr/local/cwp/php71/bin/php -v
PHP 7.4.33 (cli) (built: Apr 26 2023 00:00:00) ( NTS )

with the ionCube PHP Loader + ionCube24 v15.5.0, Copyright (c) 2002-2026, by ionCube Ltd.
Apparently others run the internal 8.3.36 and not the old 7.4.33
Any suggestions why?

Information / Re: Possible CWP Security Issue – Malicious JavaScript Injection
« Last post by Freespirits_GR_Host on October 24, 2026, 08:51:16 AM »Thanks for sharing this finding. Checking the temporary directories of individual hosting accounts is definitely worthwhile during a compromise investigation.
However, I would be careful with the cleanup script. Deleting everything under /home/*/tmp can remove legitimate PHP sessions, application-generated files and potentially valuable forensic evidence.
Before deleting anything, I would first inventory the PHP files:
find /home -type f -path '*/tmp/*.php' \
-printf '%TY-%Tm-%Td %TH:%TM %u %p\n'
Then examine suspicious files individually without executing them:
stat /path/to/suspicious.php
sha256sum /path/to/suspicious.php
file /path/to/suspicious.php
I would also check whether these files contain suspicious encoded payloads, unexpected command-execution functions or references to unfamiliar external servers.
Most importantly, correlate their creation times with website access logs. If the same suspicious PHP payload appears under multiple hosting accounts, investigate whether a shared vulnerability or server-level persistence mechanism is responsible.
Preserve suspicious samples before removing them. If root compromise is suspected, consider isolating the server and recovering from a trusted installation.
Full disclosure: I'm the developer of the CWP7 Security Audit Module. I developed it to help CWP administrators investigate suspicious files and persistence indicators. It may help with a broader server-wide investigation, although its coverage of these particular temporary directories should be verified.
Have you checked whether the suspicious files share identical hashes or reappear after deletion? That could help determine whether you're dealing with repeated application infections or an active persistence mechanism.

Why is the CWP internal PHP still using 7.2.30, is there any way to update this and why isn't this update not comming from the devs itself?
