Cancel an automatic fix from the vulnerability scan

Update 09/01/2026

This guide explains how to apply or cancel a patch, quarantine, or block implemented by the vulnerability detection tool, the free and additional protection to the antivirus that automatically protects your Web Hosting against malware and security vulnerabilities.

 

Introduction

  • Unless you take action, the tool will automatically correct detected vulnerabilities within 7 days.
  • It is strongly recommended not to undo a patch or quarantine unless you are sure of what you are doing.

 

Apply or cancel a correction

To do this:

  1. Click here to access the management of your hosting on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click directly on the name assigned to the hosting in question:
  3. Click on Security in the left-hand menu.
  4. Click on Vulnerability Scan in the left-hand menu:
  5. If nothing is displayed, first click the button to View History.
  6. If an event history exists, click the action menu to the right of the vulnerability in question in the table that is displayed.
  7. Click on Cancel the fix.
  8. In some cases, other actions are possible:
    1. Apply the patch: immediately fixes the vulnerability.
    2. Cancel the patch: cancels the fix and restores the original vulnerable file (not recommended).
    3. Delete the file: permanently removes the malware from your hosting (may affect the operation of your site).
    4. Quarantine: isolates the vulnerable file and allows you to restore it if necessary (may affect the operation of your site).
    5. Cancel quarantine: restores the isolated file to its original location (not recommended).
    6. Add an exception: allows you to indicate to the tool that the vulnerable file is safe; it will no longer be analyzed.
    7. Remove an exception: removes the Allowed status from the file; it will be analyzed again.

 

Details of the different statuses

  1. VULNERABLE: a vulnerability has been detected in a file; the path column indicates the file's location.
  2. RESOLVED : the vulnerability has been fixed by the tool.
  3. AUTHORIZED : the vulnerable file has been manually authorized; it will no longer be analyzed by the tool.
  4. RESOLVED : a manual fix, external to the tool, was applied to the file (CMS update, source code modification, manual file deletion, etc.).
  5. PATCH REVERTED : the tool's fix was manually reverted; it is possible to reapply the patch.
