Customers have asked us whether our servers are vulnerable to the recent serious security bug in the cPanel software, and to CVE-2026-31431 (nicknamed “Copy Fail”) and “Dirty Frag”, in the Linux kernel. All of these bugs could allow ”hackers” to modify websites.
The good news is that your site on our servers is safe from all three. We don’t use cPanel branded software at all, and we don’t use a vulnerable versions of the kernel software on our servers. We’ve verified in multiple ways that our servers are not vulnerable to either problem.
(Edit May 8: Updated to include information about new “Dirty Frag” exploit.)

Note that these latest versions of PHP are incompatible with old versions of the WordFence security plugin that some people use on their WordPress site (old versions of Wordfence can cause errors with Google Search indexing and some other requests). If you’re using an older version of Wordfence together with one of these PHP versions, we’ve automatically updated Wordfence to the fixed version 8.1.4 for you to avoid problems. (We recommend turning on automatic updates for all WordPress plugins to avoid issues like this.)
