WHM 110
CentOS 7.9

Symlink prevention documentation here: https://docs.cpanel.net/ea4/apache/symlink-race-condition-protection/#cagefs

States using CageFS .
The CageFS documentation here tells how to install:

https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/14384156571671-How-to-install-CageFS

but running install on the terminal root shows this:

[root@server ~]# yum install cagefs
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, universal-hooks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * EA4: 185.90.57.221
 * cpanel-addons-production-feed: 185.90.57.221
 * cpanel-plugins: 185.90.57.221
 * epel: ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de
No package cagefs available.
Error: Nothing to do
[root@server ~]#

 

How do we install cageFS on Server?

  As stated in that document "CageFS requires CloudLinux to be installed", so you need to have CloudLinux to be able to use CageFS.
