Hello, I am researching excessive problems with what appeared to be a Wordpress exploit allowing all sorts of malicious activity.

I got accustomed to seeing messages like this:

Hi Guys,
I have several warning notices like the below, mostly for suspicious directories and/or cache directories. I've setup the relative 'ignore' lines and they dont bother me anymore. The only one I am having trouble understanding is for a particular user as follows:
May 24 09:50:04 osi cxswatch : .....148000 May 24 09:55:39 osi cxswatch : WARNING: '/home/userABC/public_html/.htaccess'...

How can I change --filemax 10000 to --filemax 20000 for the weekly scan ?

This is more a feature request, unless there's already a way to do this.

I always have to change some options on the web scan (ie. enable Bayes, setup the Quarantine directory, choose which files to check, ignore files, etc) and sometimes I forget something or get something wrong which causes me to repeat the test.

I wonder if there's a chance to always keep the last used variables as the...

I keep getting false positive for (cxswatch Scanning /home/user/public_html/wp-content/cache/supercache/www.userdomain.com).

I have already put (hdir:/public_html/wp-content/cache/supercache) in cxs.ignore and restarted the service.

I still keep seeing many email regarding the same false positive any help would be great.

Hello,

When httpd starts, I see the following error in my logs

Hello

I can't start cxs watch. It was working last week but I checked this morning and it wasn't running at all. I tried to start, enable, restart but all of them gives me same warning:

I'm starting to see these messages in my cxs scans. I'm not sure what it's telling me, or what setting(s) control it.

Is it possible by any means to set the FROM email address when a cron like this runs in /etc/cron.d/ ?

Any additional params if I add the smtp flag?

I am getting a lot of exploits undetected by CXS on normal settings.
I have my sever set to bayes low for report & quarantine and am getting these quarantined. I am protected so aren't worried for me, but in the course of my work I am seeing a lot of newly exploited wordpress sites and no one has yet proved what exploit is allowing the sites to be used for distributing malware
I know they are...

Hello

Is it possible to install and use CXS on a DirectAdmin server or if not yet are you planning to port this...

Hello there

After updating to CxS v6.26, I started to experience a problem.

CxS can no longer detect many exploits that it can detect before. In particular, base64 exploits can not be caught in any way.

The same problem exists with the new/clean servers I have installed.

Although I selected all file types for trial purposes, base64 files can not detect anything.

Is there a bug in this...

How can I tell cxs to scan a list of files? It seems to accept only a single resource (file name or directory) on the command line.

I've tried entering more than one on the command line, but cxs only scans the first resource specified.

I've tried using the --xtra option on a file with a few file:/full/path/to/file entries, but cxs seems to ignore them completely and only scan the single file I...

I'm using the cPanel/WHM installation of ClamAV, and CXS can't seem to find the socket, even when I put the path to clamd in the cxs.defaults file.

I remember a while ago you had to uninstall the cPanel install and install ClamAV independently. Is that still the case?

I am seeing the error below when I go to ConfigServer eXploit Scanner in WHM:

Error trying to talk to ClamAV socket : Connection refused
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...
