WP Toolkit 6.5.0

WP Guardian Vulnerability Protection for single WordPress sites

WP Guardian addon with Vulnerability Protection can now be purchased for individual WordPress sites.

  • This addon can be purchased directly by any control panel user, including end-users (site administrators), for any WordPress site they can access in WP Toolkit.
  • Single-site WP Guardian addon does not include other Deluxe features like Smart Updates or Smart PHP Updates.
  • Sites using this addon do not count towards Vulnerability Protection limit in service plans or subscriptions.
  • The ability for users to buy this addon cannot be restricted via Vulnerability Protection limit in service plans or subscriptions.
  • If server-level WP Guardian addon license is already present on the server, the ability to buy a single-site addon is automatically disabled.
  • To enable this offer on cPanel, add the following parameter to your config.ini file: 
    [ext-wp-toolkit]
virtualPatchesLicensingForEndCustomers = true
  • This offer will be made available selectively and gradually to make sure server administrators have enough time to disable it, if needed.
Added new rank for active exploited vulnerabilities

Actively exploited vulnerabilities now have their own Critical risk rank.

Other changes
  • Codeable integration now tracks server ownership for the upcoming affiliate program.
  • WP Toolkit now greys out addressed vulnerabilities to help users focus on the non-addressed ones.
  • Additional hints will be shown to server administrators who try to enable Vulnerability Protection without adding it to a service plan, subscription, or package.

cPanel & WHM version 122

July 9, 2024

Added ALIAS DNS record support

In cPanel & WHM version 122, we added experimental support for the ALIAS DNS record to WHM’s DNS Zone Manager interface (WHM » Home » DNS Functions » DNS Zone Manager) and cPanel’s Zone Editor interface (cPanel » Home » Domains » Zone Editor). This record only works on systems that run PowerDNS.

Warning:
  • We strongly recommend that you do not use this function. Using the ALIAS DNS record may result in unexpected behavior, including website downtime, inconsistency in the handling of the record, and security vulnerabilities.
  • This record is only available if you enable access to it and use PowerDNS.

For more information about ALIAS DNS records, read our The ALIAS DNS Record documentation.

Experimental ARC support in Exim

In cPanel & WHM version 122, we added experimental support for in Exim. For more information, read our Exim Configuration Manager Basic Editor documentation.

Experimental:

This feature is experimental. If you enable this feature, email deliverability to some large providers may improve, but WebPros International, LLC does not guarantee it.

Tomcat Manager removal

In cPanel & WHM version 122, we removed WHM’s Tomcat Manager interface, as it managed Tomcat 8.5, which is deprecated. Instead, use Tomcat 10.1 with containers.

Note:

Using Tomcat with containers does not provide a user interface.

MariaDB the default database management system

When you install cPanel & WHM, it now installs MariaDB® 10.11 by default in version 122 and later. To use MySQL or a different version of MariaDB instead, you may customize your installation or upgrade your database version. For more information about what database versions you can use, read our Supported MySQL/MariaDB Versions documentation.

Older Roundcube database versions converted to SQLite

When your server updates to cPanel & WHM version 122, if Roundcube uses either MySQL version 5.6 or below or MariaDB 10.0, the system will convert the Roundcube database to individual SQLite databases. The system will also update Roundcube to version 1.6.

New UAPI functions
New WHM API 1 functions
Removed Tomcat 8.5 functions

The following functions dealt with Tomcat 8.5, which is deprecated:

  • ea4_tomcat85_rem
  • ea4_tomcat85_add
  • ea4_tomcat85_list
Removed scripts
