Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

An incompatible update from the imunify360-ea-php-hardened repository caused Apache service instability on a subset of Liquid Web servers running cPanel, requiring manual intervention to restore service in some cases. The engineering team remediated affected systems by disabling the problematic repository and completed patching efforts across the environment to restore service stability. The incident was fully resolved after 20.1 hours with all systems stabilized and monitoring confirming no new issues.

We are currently investigating an issue affecting a subset of servers where the imunify360-ea-php-hardened repository is incompatible with certain packages installed on the systems. As a result of this incompatible update, Apache service stability may be impacted, and in some cases may require manual intervention to restore service on affected hosts. As an immediate step, we are turning off the imunify360-ea-php-hardened repository on affected systems to help restore service stability. Our engineering team is actively monitoring for this condition and is working closely with cPanel and CloudLinux support to identify the root cause and implement a stable and permanent resolution.

All systems remain stable following remediation, and no new issues have been observed during the monitoring phase.
We will continue to track updates from the upstream provider, and once a patched package is made available, we will schedule maintenance windows to roll out these changes in the future.
Thank you for your patience.

All identified affected systems have now been remediated, and patching efforts have been completed across the environment. Service stability has been restored, and we have not observed any new issues since remediation was applied.

At this time, we will be transitioning to a monitoring phase to continue observing system performance and ensure ongoing stability.

Once a patched package is made available by the upstream provider, we will schedule maintenance windows to safely deploy the permanent fix across all systems.

We will continue to provide updates if any new developments arise.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to us via chat or by opening a support case.

Thank you for your patience.
