Create CXS Quarantine Directory

Creating a CXS Quarantine Directory

CXS (ConfigServer eXploit Scanner) quarantines suspicious files by moving them to a designated directory instead of deleting them. This allows you to review flagged files before deciding whether they are legitimate or malicious.

Creating the Quarantine Directory

Via SSH as root:

mkdir -p /home/cxsquarantine chmod 700 /home/cxsquarantine

Then configure CXS to use this directory in its configuration file or via WHM > ConfigServer eXploit Scanner > Quarantine settings.

This is a server administrator task. If you are a shared hosting customer and believe CXS has quarantined a legitimate file from your account, contact support and we will review and restore it if appropriate.
