« Last post by kandalf on April 13, 2026, 09:35:15 AM »There are currently BIG security issues with CWP, that even with your guides - that are just generic tutorials to update OS components - cannot be fixed. There is a RCE that is active since end of 2025, and still not fixed.
And there is security issues in many main components of CWP, that have been for YEARS, and are still not fixed because - as you also said - there is no one to answer the questions.
Which one specifically?
CWP is outdated by default. While we can manually update Roundcube, Nginx, and Apache, the core installation keep this packages outdated out of the box, which needs to be addressed. Being two major PHP versions behind is a critical issue for a panel designed to help users manage servers.
I manage five servers hosting hundreds of websites on CWP. Most are small business clients who need a traditional "website + email" solution. CWP used to be a great fit for that, but lately, I’m starting to think it’s better to pay for a cPanel license just to ensure everything stays updated. For new SaaS projects, I’m already looking into using Coolify and Mailcow instead.

You cannot say that a control panel is not outdated just because the OS where he is installed hasn't reached the EOL date.
Or because the panel support the latest version, so it must be up to date.... right?
That is the point that makes no sense. and that was what i said in the last message. Kindle don't try to mislead what have been said.
The main parts Apache, PHP, ModSecurity, etc. all can be updated manually without using the GUI.
Again, that is not related with CWP. You can always install Apache, PHP, modsecurity by itself.
Nothing to do with CWP and you cannot make a point that CWP is OK just because you can update that without touch in the GUI.
But to be competitive past AL8 EOL on 2029-05-31 (3 years away) it should be updated to support AL10 to make it future proof.
Again, they do need to drop support for CentOS 7, which is what I think is holding CWP back.
Again, makes zero sense the relation that you are making with the OS and the control panel. You can say that is for the compatibility with centOS 7, but that is not the point here and is not the main issue at all. Not even the issue that you said in your post.
There are many security issues in the panel that are NOT fixed and are NOT related with the intention of mantain CWP compatible with CentOS 7. And many updates and advances COULD HAVE been made even when centOS 7 was in the time. And can even be made right now.
It was a mess when Red Hat pulled the plug on CentOS 8 early, killing it way before it's posted EOL.
Thankfully AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux both came out to fill the gap left.
We are still using CWP on AL9.
So we are good until at least 2032-05-31 (6 years)
Again, you are making the relation with OS, when that is not the point of the issue.
The one thing CWP has over other panels is it can be updated outside the GUI, while others you can't.
And again, this is false. You can update all the components of a OS and is programs - Apache, PHP, modsecurity, etc - without a GUI. You dont even need a GUI in the first place, or a control panel at all.
You can update all of that. You can in other control panels. You can without any control panel.
Control panel is just a GUI to help manage the OS. You can still control, update and manage the OS without a control panel.
Again, this makes no sense and is misleading. The issue here is that you are tring to "excuse" the lack of updates as a "normal thing", and in the process you provide false information to brainwash some users - as that is some kind of sand wall to the eyes - when any one with a little of knowledge know that you are incorrect.
Several, including cPanel use a dead line of a security module. Even in their latest versions on AL10.
Yes. And the BIG difference is that they update they control panel to mantain the security and new features, and CWP doesnt! So it fails behind.
There are currently BIG security issues with CWP, that even with your guides - that are just generic tutorials to update OS components - cannot be fixed. There is a RCE that is active since end of 2025, and still not fixed.

@djprmf
Let me try this again for you.
When I posted that line, it means CWP supports AL8 fully currently, which is still current.
But to make CWP future proof, it needs to support AL10.

Cwp is a Control panel.
Say that cwp is updated because suporte the latest version of Almalinux is like saying that Netscape is updated just because you can run it in windows 11.
That makes zero sense.....

ANYONE - me included - that shows a little bit of frustation about the decadency of CWP have been downgraded by comments made from you.
Any one that came here, calling CWP as being outdated, or "dead", YOU active call them away. YOU have helped in the state that CWP is. and NOW you are putting this? The exact same thing that EVERYONE have been saying?
Im sorry, but must be a joke.
If CWP is in the state that it is, despite all your guides and help, YOU helped make it like this, scarring away users from the ONLY support that they have to show some bit of hope that something will change.
The fact that you, one of the CWP envangelists, NOW write this post, is the proff that this is dead and will not come back. So go look for another panel - something that you should have done long time ago... when everyone was saying it and you blame them.
CWP is dead.
CWP is NOT DEAD, NEVER said that.
And currently isn't outdated since AlmaLinux 8 hasn't reached EOL.

3 years isn't a long time to revamp code or migrate to new OS'es.

And I am still here helping users who need it, and will keep out knowledge base up2date.

Where CWP uses a version you can upgrade thru the CLI.

@josemnunez
Tagged him wrong before, but he does sometimes look at the forums, so does Igor.
I'm beginning to wonder if there wasn't a falling out between the 3 developers at this point.
Bug fixes continue to be released.
But no real updates like for new PHP versions, even 8.1 or 8.3 that php.net has released.
And we won't even talk about the forums falling apart, first the SSL, not the icons over the message box aren't working.
I did create a neutral forums at sysadmin.help (shameless plug), that cover CWP, CyberPanel, CSF, OWASP, and any others that may be suggested.
There's also an area for Cat and Computer Meme's.

« Last post by Jamshed Datori on April 10, 2026, 04:07:05 PM »We have been waiting for CWP to be updated properly since 2023. I had contact with almost the entire team of CWP, but they stopped responding (and a few blocked me because I continued asking for an update).
I am also a big fan of CWP because this is the only control panel that can compete with paid control panels like cPanel, Plesk, etc.. but since the development has been slowed (maybe abandoned), this has dropped its market share a lot.
We need it to be compatible with AlmaLinux 9 and 10, but the support team doesn't bother about the forum and the feedback.
One more thing, they have stopped responding to the support tickets, too. I raised a support ticket on Feb 25, 2026, but despite multiple reminders, they are not responding.
