If you believe that there is a problem with your cxs installation and want support then, as a paid product, you should use the helpdesk after having consulted the documentation.
I've been struggling with this for a while now, I have wordpress sites where everything is up to date but attackers are still able to upload files to the server. One such person has been trying to upload a backdoor since 1am in the morning. I can see 5 files with the same name quarantined.
Is it possible to identify how these files were uploaded?
We have lot of wp-content/cache/wp-rocket/www.mydomain.tld advises, that are normal beacuse we install wp-rocket on our hostings.
Problem is that i want to ignore the Suspicious directory email, but, if exploit appears on wp-content/cache/wp-rocket/www.mydomain.tld/exploit.php, it should be detect also.
I have a client that suddenly could no longer send mail via SMTP through our server. I traced this to their IP being in the LF_SMTPAUTH.txt blocklist (in the CXS IP Reputation feature), which we have enabled.
I confirmed that the user had never had an SMTP failure with our server (further confirmed by trying to remove the IP via the cxs --Rremove command, which failed because our server was not...

New here, I apologize if this has been asked before. Tried searching the CXS subforum but couldn't find a similar thread.
I'm new to CXS, just got it ~2 weeks ago. I seem to be experiencing an odd one. CXS doesn't seem to pick up malware files after the server has rebooted, it only starts detecting them when I click restart CXS Watch from the ConfigServer eXploit Scanner section.
You must install ClamAV (Clamavconnector on cPanel) or ensure clamd is running to use this product correctly
If the clamd socket is not automatically detected, and to clear this message, you must set clamdsock=/path/to/socket in /etc/cxs/cxs.defaults to the live socket location

Hi there. This is my first post in this community.
I just got the very good cleanup service from Jacob performed on my server, and now I am getting 50+ emails per day about:
subject: cxs Scan on xxxx.mydomain..com (Hits:1) (Viruses:0) (Fingerprints:1)
I would like to either get a daily digest, or just suppress them. Is there any quick adjustment in the settings I can do?
I transferred a suspicious file via FTP and I get this email error:
# Clamd Error for : Undefined path for Socket::pack_sockaddr_un at /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/perl/530/lib/perl5/5.30.0/x86_64-linux-64int/Socket.pm line 873.
Anyone had this issue ?
