This guide explains how to find out the operating system version of your Web Hosting server.

Introduction

• Even if Debian or a package seems outdated, the versions displayed do not contain any vulnerabilities:
  • Infomaniak keeps them up to date through regular internal patches on all components and systems used.
  • The versions are chosen for their stability and then reinforced with security measures that standard tests do not detect.
• If you or your clients identify a flaw in an Infomaniak product, please submit a POC. Although rare, these cases are handled quickly.
  • Data security is the responsibility of the user: Infomaniak cannot be held responsible for poor management or use of access credentials.
