I Audited a Production WHM/cPanel Server. Here's What I Found (and How to Check Yours)

A security audit of a production WHM/cPanel server revealed several critical vulnerabilities, including an outdated OpenSSH version, exposed SSH port, and unsecured PHP versions. To address these issues, the server's SSH configuration should be updated, including changing the port, disabling root login, and enabling key-based authentication. Additionally, the server's firewall rules should be reviewed and updated to restrict access to the SSH port. Running a security audit on your own server is recommended to identify and address similar vulnerabilities.
