Cancel an automatic fix from the vulnerability scan
This guide explains how to apply or cancel a patch, quarantine, or block performed by the vulnerability detection tool, the free and complementary antivirus protection that automatically protects Web Hosting against malware and security vulnerabilities.
Preamble
- Without any action on your part, the tool automatically fixes detected vulnerabilities within a 7-day period.
- It is strongly discouraged to cancel a patch or quarantine unless you are sure of what you are doing.
Apply or cancel a fix
To do this:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the product in question.
- Click on Security in the left sidebar.
- Click on Vulnerability Scan in the left sidebar.
- Click on Vulnerabilities in the left sidebar.
- If nothing specific is displayed, first click on the button to View history.
- Click on the action menu โฎ to the right of the vulnerability in question in the displayed table.
- Click on Cancel correction:
- In some cases, other actions are possible:
- Apply the patch: immediately fixes the vulnerability.
- Cancel the patch: cancels the fix and restores the original vulnerable file (not recommended).
- Delete the file: permanently removes the malware from your hosting (may affect the functioning of your site).
- Quarantine: isolates the vulnerable file and allows you to restore it if needed (may affect the functioning of your site).
- Cancel quarantine: restores the isolated file to its original location (not recommended).
- Add an exception: indicates to the tool that the vulnerable file is safe; it will no longer be analyzed.
- Delete an exception: removes the Allowed status from the file; the latter will be analyzed again.
