  With this (CVE-2026-41940) and copy.fail (CVE-2026-3143), it must be an exciting time in the shared hosting business right now… Glad I've been out of it for a long time.

  There must be so many (small) shared hosting companies that don't update their software, those poor customers.

  Which are the safest control panels^ ? Been thinking about Hostineer which developed and dogfooded ApisCP over 20 years. [^] a product made for commercial operators stuffing thousands of PHP sites into a server, so no Coolify, Google Cloud Run.

  Luckily my site uses Plesk after moving away from cPanel years ago. I have to wonder if this issue is due to never reviewing auto-test scripts ? I know where I worked, testing is now an afterthought and half the time testing means no issues compiling and deploying :) We had a separate testing group and they caught lots of issues. But due to Agile, they were all fired years ago.

    Plesk is a separate team owned by the same parent company.
