A fixed-price audit of your CyberPanel server across three layers: the panel itself, the OS underneath, and the sites it hosts. From $390.
CyberPanel is free, fast, and easy to install. That last part is the problem. People spin it up on a $5 VPS, point a domain at it, and leave the management port wide open to the whole internet. Then they read a Reddit thread calling it a security nightmare and wonder if they made a mistake.
They didn’t. CyberPanel is fine. The default install is what’s risky. In October 2024 a flaw in the panel’s upgrade endpoint let attackers run commands without logging in, and a ransomware crew used it to hit something like 22,000 servers in a day. The panel had a patch out fast. Most of the servers that got hit were running an old build with the admin interface exposed on port 8090 to anyone who knew the IP.
That’s most of CyberPanel security in one line. Keep the panel patched, keep it off the open internet, and treat the box underneath like the production server it actually is. We audit all three layers and fix what we find.
Port 8090 exposure, CyberPanel version against known CVEs, 2FA on the admin login, the API and upgrade endpoints that were the 2024 attack vector, and whether the panel sits behind Cloudflare or an IP allowlist.
SSH access and port, CSF firewall rules, fail2ban, OS and OpenLiteSpeed patch level, file permissions, and whether one hacked site can reach another on the same box.
The WordPress, OpenCart, or static sites CyberPanel hosts: malware scan, outdated apps, weak admin passwords, and SSL coverage across every domain on the panel.
Most CyberPanel incidents we've seen start at the panel layer, because that's the part people forget is internet-facing. The server and the sites are where the damage spreads once someone's in.
We run the same checklist on every CyberPanel box, whether it's one WordPress site or thirty. There's no stripped-down scan that we upsell you out of.
You get a report written in plain English, ranked by how likely each thing is to bite you. Not a 90-page PDF dump from a scanner. The stuff that matters, in order, with the fix next to it.
Every issue scored by likelihood and impact, with the panel-layer risks called out first.
The exact CyberPanel and CSF settings we changed, so you or your next admin can see what's locked and why.
What we fixed, what we recommend you do, and what can wait, separated clearly.
Where your backups go, how to restore, and the gap if there is one.
Thirty minutes to go through the findings so the report isn't just a file you file away.
Five business days from access to a hardened server, with a snapshot taken before we touch anything.
You give us SSH and CyberPanel admin access. We take a full backup of the box before changing a single setting.
Same dayPanel, server, and every hosted site. Automated tools plus a manual review, because scanners miss the config mistakes.
Days 1-2Lock the panel port, fix the firewall, patch what's behind, clean any malware we find, and document each change.
Days 3-4We re-run the scan to confirm the fixes held, then walk you through the report.
Day 5The audit-only tier is $390. That’s the three-layer scan, the ranked report, and the walkthrough call. You get a clear picture of where the server stands and a fix list you can hand to anyone.
Most people want the holes closed, not just listed, so the audit-plus-hardening tier at $690 includes the actual fixes: panel lockdown, firewall, SSH, patching, and a re-scan to prove it worked.
If your CyberPanel server is already compromised, an audit is the wrong first move. You need the malware gone and the site back up before hardening means anything. That’s a server restoration job, and the hardening folds in once you’re clean. Tell us it’s an active incident and we’ll treat it as one.
This is the CyberPanel-specific version of our website security service. The panel changes the attack surface, but the risk model is the same one we use everywhere. If you want the platform view first, our CyberPanel support overview covers what we install, tune, and break-fix on the panel day to day.
The box underneath CyberPanel is still a Linux server, and a lot of the hardening lives there. Our Linux server support page covers that layer on its own. If most of what runs on your panel is WordPress, the WordPress security audit uses the same three-layer pattern at the application level, and the two pair well on one engagement.
If the panel is already behind Cloudflare, or you want it to be, we tune the Cloudflare WAF and access rules so the :8090 port is never reachable except from your own IPs. And if you’re reading this because the server already got hit, the server restoration path cleans it first and hardens after, because there’s no point locking a door on a house that’s still on fire. If you also run a Drupal site, our Drupal security review uses the same method. Running cPanel instead of CyberPanel? We offer cPanel hardening too. Weighing it against the alternative first? See CyberPanel vs cPanel.
We'll triage the same day. Send context, screenshots, error messages — whatever you have. No sales calls, no chatbots.
