How to disable annoying Imunify::Generic emails in WHM 108?

[Benjamin D.]

Alright, I can understand the benefits of scanning with Imunify once in a while, but the relentless emails about hundreds of Wordpress plugins that are slightly outdated is becoming old quite fast. Look, I understand that the Admin CSS MU plugin was updated last month and that the update literally only adds the flex-direction CSS compatibility, but does that justify my WHM server emailing me every other day about it? It seems that we have a very different definition of what "vulnerable" or "outdated" means. I almost feel harassed by my WHM server nowadays compared to a few years ago and I don't ever recall having issues over the last decade when a CSS plugin had not been updated FOR A MONTH on any Wordpress site that this server has been hosting.

TLDR; HOW CAN WE DISABLE THIS PLEASE? Instructions at the bottom of the said email lead to nowhere in WHM 108. Here's the email I need deactivated:


Dear Administrator,

This message is to provide you important information regarding web server security. Please note that the following software in your environment is considered to be outdated or vulnerable:

admin-css-mu version 2.7 that is located at /home/someuser/public_html is outdated
The recommended for use version of this software is 2.8

340 more items found.

Please do the following:

• Option 1: Make sure WordPress administrator(s) responsible install the necessary updates.
• OR
• Option 2: Upgrade from ImunifyAV to Imunify360 to cut down the risks that come with outdated software.

If you have any questions, please contact our support team.

All the best,
Imunify360 Security Team

Hey there! The instructions at the bottom *should* take you to WHM >> Contact Manager, where you can adjust the Imunify settings. Can you try working with that page to see if that gets you the desired behavior?

Sorry, I thought it was clear when I wrote "Instructions at the bottom of the said email lead to nowhere in WHM 108." but perhaps it was not. Let me rephrase it: Whenever I click on the link at the bottom of the email, it opens a browser window to WHM and displays nothing about Imunify. Please, take a look at both attached screenshots and if possible, let me know how I can disable that "security" email.

Please don't hesitate to let me know if my question is still unclear.

We used to disable it through: # imunify-antivirus config update '{"ADMIN_CONTACTS": {"enable_icontact_notifications": false}}'

The problem with the UI is that Imunify never got there own alert type so it falls under Generic.
Which is a problem when you have no idea what falls exactly under Generic besides ImunifyAV

Are you logged in as a reseller? You should have more options under the "Notifications" tab than what you're seeing there.

I'm logged in as root.

That's odd - you should have an entire page of options there showing all the notification options for the entire server. Is there anything logged to the cPanel error log (/usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log) when loading that page? If not, we'd like to take a look at this through a ticket if you could submit one.

It's not ideal, but on friday, I've run: imunify-antivirus config update '{"ADMIN_CONTACTS": {"enable_icontact_notifications": false}}'
(sorry, cpanel.net forum is broken and won't let me format as code)

It's been 4 days and I have not received any email from Imunify yet, so that might have fixed it. We'll wait a week just to be sure.

After 1 week, I'm happy to report that the suggestion by ITHKBO seems to have worked! Thank you ITHKBO for helping me out!
