Cause

The server has a custom virtual host location. plesk repair utility false-positively identifies the custom virtual host path as having incorrect permissions.

Such behavior was confirmed as Plesk bug with ID #PPPM-12325, which is planned to be fixed in future Plesk updates.

Resolution

The error message can be ignored as it is a false positive.
