Magento security audit

Finding the holes in your store before an attacker does

Most Magento breaches do not announce themselves. A skimmer sits quietly in your checkout taking card details, or an unpatched extension waits for someone to notice. A senior engineer reads your code, your infrastructure, your patches and your payment flow by hand, and tells you exactly where you are exposed. Five days, a signed report, a fixed price.

  • Twelve-category audit checklist
  • Manual senior code review
  • Aligned to PCI, GDPR and OWASP
  • NDA signed before kickoff
From $1.8k fixed

How a slot works

The signs you already half-know

Something feels off and you cannot quite place it

Usually people come to us not because they have proof of a breach, but because something is nagging at them. The store has slowed down for no clear reason. An element breaks in a way that does not match any change anyone made. There were patches that did not apply cleanly, or that got skipped when things were busy, and nobody is sure where that left you.

Any one of those can be nothing. But a slowdown can be a crypto miner or an exfiltration script using your resources. Odd behaviour can be tampered code. Skipped patches are open doors. And a skimmer can sit in your checkout capturing card data while the funnel still works perfectly, so the only visible sign is that nothing looks wrong. If your instinct says check, that instinct is worth listening to.

Why this is urgent

The gap between a patch and an attack keeps shrinking

This is not a theoretical risk. Across the 240 stores we audited over 2024 and 2025, 87% had at least one critical CVE left unpatched, including stores whose owners believed they had a support contract covering exactly this.

Adobe disclosed three critical remote-code-execution flaws in Magento 2 in the last twelve months, and every store we checked that had not patched was vulnerable to at least one of them. The window between a patch being released and an exploit being deployed against it is now under thirty days. So a store that is a couple of months behind is not a little behind, it is squarely inside the window attackers work in.

What we audit

Twelve categories, read by a person, not a scanner

This is not an automated scan you could buy off Fiverr. A senior engineer reads your code, infra, patches, extensions, admin config and payment flow by hand. These six are where most of it lives.

Patch level

Every disclosed CVE since your last patch, cross-checked against Adobe's security bulletins, so you know what is exploitable today.

Payment skimmers

Catalogue-injected JavaScript, checkout payload tampering and Magecart-class indicators. We find the skim before your processor does.

Admin and credentials

Default URLs, weak passwords, stale admin users, missing 2FA and IP allow-listing. The unglamorous stuff that most breaches start with.

Custom code

SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, auth bypass and path traversal in your own modules, reviewed by hand rather than left to a scan.

Third-party extensions

Known CVEs, unmaintained packages, dependency confusion and license issues. Usually the riskiest layer of any Magento store.

Infrastructure

OS patches, exposed services, TLS config, firewall rules, fail2ban, SSH hardening, backup integrity and log review.

How we work

How an audit runs

The point is an actionable report your team can work from, not a wall of text that gets filed and forgotten.

We get access

Read-only access to admin, server and analytics, with the NDA signed first. We never write to production during an audit.

We confirm scope

We agree what is in scope with you and document the inputs and constraints, so there are no surprises in either direction.

We audit

Manual code review by a senior, plus automated scans and an infrastructure check, across all twelve categories.

We deliver the report

A thirty-to-fifty-page report with every finding ranked, each carrying a CVE reference, severity, how to reproduce it and a recommended fix.

If we find something critical mid-audit, you hear about it within the hour with a recommended hotfix. We do not sit on actively-exploitable findings until report day.

Packages

Three fixed-price tiers

We do not optimise code or performance as part of an audit. This is a security report with fixes your developers can act on. If you want the fixes shipped too, the top tier covers that.

Why us

Seventeen years of reading Magento stores

We have been an Adobe Solution Partner since 2012, and our analysts have audited stores on every Magento version going back to 1.4. That history is the actual advantage here, because a lot of finding vulnerabilities is pattern recognition, knowing where this kind of store tends to hide its weak spot, and you only get that from doing it across more than 240 audits.

Our analysts are Adobe-certified, and every finding comes with a CVE reference, a severity, a reproduction step and a recommended fix with an effort estimate, so your developers can act on it straight away. During the audit week you get daily updates, and anything critical is reported within the hour. The NDA is signed before kickoff, and your data goes to named people only.

Questions

Questions about the audit

What exactly is a Magento security audit?

It is a thorough review of your store to find anything that could help an attacker in, across core code, third-party extensions, your own custom code, infrastructure, admin access, the payment flow and the database. You get a written report with every finding, its severity, how to reproduce it and a fixed-effort plan to fix it. Five days, fixed price, senior-led.

Will you fix the issues you find?

The standard audit gives you a report with each issue and its fix, which your own team can ship or which our developers can ship for you, priced from the roadmap. The top-tier package includes shipping the remediation as part of the work.

Do you audit older or end-of-life Magento?

We focus on supported Magento 2 versions. For end-of-life versions, Magento 1 or very old M2, we will audit if you ask, but the honest answer is usually to migrate before patching, because running on an unsupported version is the bigger problem. We can help with that migration too.

Do you need access to our production server?

Read-only access is ideal, your code, a read-only database user and your nginx config. We never write to production during an audit. If you cannot grant access, we audit a staging clone, which is slightly less complete but still useful. The NDA is signed before any access is given.

What happens if you find something critical mid-audit?

We tell you within the hour, with reproduction steps and a recommended hotfix. For something actively exploitable, time to fix matters more than report polish, so we do not hold it back.

How quickly can you start?

A Quick Scan can run the same week. A Full Audit has about a one-week lead, and the Audit plus Fixes about two weeks. Emergency post-incident audits start within 24 hours at premium pricing. Tell us the urgency and we will fit it.
