Plesk
Plesk is a widely used web-hosting control panel for managing sites, domains, mail and databases on a server. ScanMalware detects it from Plesk-specific headers, login paths and default pages.
An exposed Plesk panel is an administrative entry point; outdated panels have had serious vulnerabilities, so a publicly reachable Plesk login is worth noting in a security review.

How ScanMalware detects Plesk
Plesk is detected by analysing the response headers, HTML markup, JavaScript runtime and asset URLs captured when ScanMalware loads the site in a real headless browser.
From any scan you can pivot into related signals — JARM TLS fingerprints, ASN ownership and BGP routing, certificate history, JavaScript analysis and the overall security verdict — to understand not just that Plesk is present, but how it is being used. Open the full search interface for Plesk →
