Identified - Our teams are continuing to deploy the required security updates across affected systems in response to the Januscape Vulnerability (CVE-2026-53359). As part of this remediation, some systems require a controlled reboot to complete the patching process.
Following each reboot, we are validating system availability, service health, and network connectivity. Systems that do not return to service as expected are being actively investigated and restored by our operations teams.
We understand the importance of maintaining availability and are working carefully to complete this remediation while minimizing customer impact. Additional updates will be provided as patching and validation efforts continue.

Monitoring -
The Nexcess Managed Wordpress platform configures Wordpress Core updates by default and the vast majority of websites have been updated. Nexcess System Engineers proactively attempted to update affected websites that were not already on the patched version. In some cases this was not possible to do. The Nexcess Managed Wordpress Development team has pushed a must-use plugin that mitigates this vulnerability where the application is not on a patched version. All customers are strongly encouraged to ensure their websites have been updated to the latest version of Wordpress.
