NEW
What’s New
Highlights of the latest CWP releases — see the changelog for every change.
New admin panel design
A modern layout with a new sidebar, top bar and redesigned modules in every menu group, plus a new dashboard with live server health, security snapshot, live logs and bandwidth view.
Security review of the whole panel
All admin modules were reviewed: command-injection, SQL-injection, path-traversal and XSS issues fixed and CSRF protection added. ModSecurity OWASP CRS now really blocks, and PHP Defender has new rules for PHP 7 and 8.
CWP to CWP migration for big servers
Moves everything — mail, databases, DKIM, FTP, per-domain PHP-FPM and web server settings, and now also webmail contacts, calendars and tasks. Automatic resume, verification report and “Sync again” before you switch DNS.
Roundcube 1.6 and phpMyAdmin 5.2
Roundcube 1.6.20 LTS and phpMyAdmin 5.2.3 with single sign-on from the panel. Both updates make a backup, check the login page and roll back automatically if something fails.
Reliable PHP builds
PHP Selector, PHP-FPM Selector and PHP Switcher builds run as their own service, use all CPU cores, report failures clearly and never overwrite your php.ini. Xdebug for PHP 8.2–8.5 and the new /scripts/cwp_php command line tool.
Backups and languages
New Backup works with S3, Samba/NAS and NFS (list and restore included), users download backups straight from the panel, and the admin and user panel are now available in Portuguese (Brazil).
SECURITY
CWP Secure Kernel
Protection that starts in the kernel, not in a plugin
Every site in its own sandbox
Every PHP site, cron job and SSH session runs in its own profile that the kernel enforces: a hacked WordPress cannot read other accounts, reach the panel ports or start a crypto miner. Health, rule version and the protected services are on one page, and safe mode turns everything to log-only with one click.
A mode for every service
PHP-FPM, suPHP, the web servers, cron, SSH and the panel commands each run in Protect, Log only or Off. Change one site or service without touching the rest — your changes are kept when CWP ships new rules.
See what was blocked
Blocked actions are read from the kernel when you open the page — no log daemon running all the time. Start a capture to follow a problem and allow exactly what a site needs.
