Hi guys,

Got this alert from one of the cPanel servers (I have 2)

Time: Thu Jul 28 23:02:20 2022 +1000

The following list of files have FAILED the md5sum comparison test. This means that the file has been changed in some way. This could be a result of an OS update or application upgrade. If the change is unexpected it should be investigated:

/usr/bin/ea-php74: FAILED
/bin/ea-php74: FAILED
/usr/local/bin/ea-php74: FAILED
Please advise how it should be investigated.

Checking for updates is definitely the easiest option here.

As I'm mentioned many times, we don't provide or create CSF. Although it's a great tool, the comparison checker seems to struggle each time there is an update to the server, because it doesn't have a way to know an update is coming. It's very unlikely those specific packages would be compromised, and there was likely an update to the system.
