Overview
CXS (ConfigServer eXploit Scanner) scans files as they are uploaded to a server, detecting known exploits, malicious scripts, suspicious file types and web shells. It can scan on demand, on a schedule, or in real time via inotify, and is commonly deployed alongside ConfigServer Security & Firewall on cPanel servers.
Features
Real-time upload scanning
Inspects files at the moment they are uploaded, blocking malicious content before it executes.
Scheduled and on-demand scans
Full file system sweeps on a schedule or triggered manually.
Exploit signature detection
Matches against a maintained signature set covering web shells and known exploit kits.
Quarantine handling
Moves detected files to quarantine rather than deleting them outright.

No. CXS scans files for malicious content; it does not filter network traffic. It is usually deployed alongside a firewall such as ConfigServer Security & Firewall.
