  1. Security issue-Visible passwords in Dashboard needs immediate attention

    Coming from different managed hosting, I just joined cloudways, only to be surprised that sufficient security for protecting passwords is not in place. I can see the passwords are visible to me but also to the support agents that have access to the same area and hence openly visible to them. They can see Wordpress password ( which is not issue, as they told me it is default one and if changed in wordpress admin, will not be reflected here). My biggest concern is the sensitive passwords for SQL database and application credentials. The eye icon placed next to passwords…

  2. Display remaining Lets encrypt SSL limit

    SSL has rate limit for SSL certificates which is reset in 12hrs. This limit should be displayed on SSL page so that user can be careful.

  3. Remove Server Signature for Improved Security

    Provide a way to disable the server signature to improve security by not disclosing the server type and server software, along with other information, which could allow hackers to determine vulnerabilities by listing server and software specifications.

    Thanks!

  4. Allow closing shellinabox

    The shellinabox service that runs on port 4200 is not secure enough, for a number of reasons:
    * it accepts non-TLS traffic
    * no multifactor authentication
    * no battle-tested frontend webserver like nginx before it

    Instead of fixing all of these, perhaps just allow to disable this service like you allow for other services.

  5. Ability to add multiple SSL certificates per application (neither wildcard nor SAN)

    If we have a multisite, we need a wildcard SSL for the subdomains. However if we go further, and provide custom domain (domain mapping) the problem comes that the SSL certificate is only for our domain not the mapped. Would be great if we can (even manually) create more than one certificate. SAN certificates is not the good option, since:

    • We are using the wildcard for the own subdomains.
    • There is a hard limit with the 100 domains.
    • All the custom domains would be listed as secondary domains in the certificate details.

  9. Add user agent exclusion in immunify360 firewall rules

    I would like to be able to add a user agent exclusion to the new immunity firewall, so for example not be blacklisted for screaming frog spider scans

    maybe also the possibility to add ip whitelist via api service

  10. Blacklist and block IP addresses

    Via the Bot Protection section, which is Malware, it would be really beneficial to be able to click a red X (next to the whitelist green check) to block and blacklist an IP listed in the log.

  12. Let server admins (not just account owners) mute alerts OR let server admins disable vulnerability alerts

    The "Alert: Vulnerabilities detected on your application" emails can only be disabled by account owners by muting the alerts (here's how: https://support.cloudways.com/en/articles/5119834-how-to-mute-cloudways-bot-notifications). We have their sites set up with automatic plugin updates and that works fine for us. These alerts are making our customers worried for no good reason, and it's making maintenance more of a pain for me since I now have to reassure them everything's fine.

    It isn't a big annoyance for a customer to receive such an alert but try to imagine a web maintainer (like myself) having to answer multiple questions from concerned customers. We…

  14. Be able to name and order IPs

    Hi !

    It would be interesting to be able to create groups of IPs and name or tag these IPs in order to visually understand who has been given access to MySQL/SSH services.

    Example :

    External company 1: 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.2 127.0.0.3
    External company 2: 172.0.0.1 172.0.0.2
    Freelance dev: 120.0.0.1
    My company: Ips list ....

    Thx

  15. Allow API access to be granular

    I would like to use the API to do a Git deploy on select applications. I would write a script and put the script on a server. As that would be the only job that API key would do, I would like to limit it by that permission/function and also to what server and applications it could do a git pull on.

    So I see two ways to do this, one would be attach the API key the the current user. And what that user has permissions to in the UI would be what that key would have.

    Another would…

  16. Security

    Hi there,

    I recently learned about the login lock feature at BigScoots.

    The Login Lock feature allows for an extra layer of login security on the WP admin dashboard. You can read more about it at the link below:

    https://blog.bigscoots.com/wordpress-optimized-portal-wpo/#admin-security-lock

    Will Cloudways be releasing something similar soon? It would be great to have an extra layer of login security available for our sites.

  18. Slow HTTP DoS (Denial of Service) Attack

    Your all web servers are vulnerable to Slow HTTP DoS (Denial of Service) attacks.

    Slowloris and Slow HTTP POST DoS attacks rely on the fact that the HTTP protocol, by design, requires requests to be completely received by the server before they are processed. If an HTTP request is not complete, or if the transfer rate is very low, the server keeps its resources busy waiting for the rest of the data. If the server keeps too many resources busy, this creates a denial of service.

    Attack Details:
    Time difference between connections: 10006 ms

    The impact of this vulnerability:
    A…

  19. whitelist

    Please add Remark Option with Whitelist IP address in Server Security Section. Right now its difficult to find out which IP is pointing to external important server and which is IP is added for temporary use. Deleting an IP by mistake can take us into trouble as some live App IP's are listed in Whitelist IP list.
