Hello Everyone!
Upcoming builds of cPanel & WHM versions 70 and 72 will include an update to Security Advisor. As part of the update, a new assessor will scan the system for existing cPanel account usernames that do not conform to current validation requirements. If the assessor finds a username that does not conform to the validation requirements, you will see one of the messages below as part of the Security Advisor State Change notification, or when scanning your system manually using WHM >> Security Advisor:
Reserved, Invalid, and Misconfigured Usernames - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation
You can adjust notification settings for Security Advisor State Change and other alert types using WHM >> Contact Manager.
For anyone interested in the code utilized with the new assessor, feel free to review the change on the Security Advisor GitHub page:
Warn users about invalid, reserved, and misconfigured usernames. · CpanelInc/[email protected]
Let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
