Does the suhosin future deprecation affect CXS Watch?

Community forum to discuss cxs.
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.

Does the suhosin future deprecation affect CXS Watch?

Post by cocoahighlights »

NOTE: Support for using suhosin is deprecated and will be removed in
the near future - use ModSecurity instead. If you are unable to use
ModSecurity, you will have to rely on either cxs Watch or manual scans
Does this only apply to scanning of PHP Upload scripts?

What I mean is: I use CXS Watch, and I also use Suhosin. Will CXS Watch stop working for PHP if I keep using Suhosin (in the future)?

It only applies to web script upload scanning, not cxswatch. The cxswatch daemon has nothing to do with suhosin.

If you have not configured cxs web script scanning with suhosin, then you don't need to worry about this. If you don't know if you have configured it, you most likely haven't so you don't need to worry about it.
