Magento 2 Security Extension | Magento Security Scanner

Magento 2 Security Extension is an advanced security scan for Magento that regularly detects potential security vulnerabilities in the admin panel and database, gathers them in one security checklist and sends notifications about every security risk. It detects file changes, malware, malicious and exposed files, insecure file and account permissions, weak admin security settings, outdated Magento versions, and blocks spam and bot registrations in Magento.

Magento security checker keeps track of every admin action - all failed and unauthorised login attempts, admin panel changes, and pages admins view, create or detele.

Magefan offers you a security suite that protects you from cyber attacks, break-in attempts, and any Magento security breaches in both the admin and database.

Why Do You Need Magento 2 Security Extension?

Magento stores are often targeted by bots, spam, malware, admin takeovers and other security breaches. Magefan’s Magento Security Suite helps you detect security vulnerabilities, track suspicious activity, get notified of malicious actions on your server, and prevent issues before they become problems.

Protect the Magento database from malicious actions

Your database is the main target for attackers who constantly try to get hold of your customer and order data or admin credentials. The security scan detects malware, unauthorised files or insecure permissions before they are exploited by attackers.

Monitor, prevent and fix any admin vulnerabilities

An unprotected admin panel is the easiest way for attackers to get into your store. Magento Security Extension logs every admin action in the admin, flags weak login settings, monitors unauthorised login attempts and tells you exactly what to fix.

Monitor and Block Unauthorised Admin Activity

Know exactly who logs into your admin panel and what they change there. These features come from the Magento Admin Action Log that is part of the Magefan Security Extension.

Track Admin User Actions

Monitor and keep track of every change made in your admin panel, so you can always find who did what and when.

See what every admin user viewed, edited, created, and deleted in products, customers, CMS content or configuration sections.

Filter the log by admin user, date or entities to quickly trace back any change to its source and fix it.

Track Admin Login Activity

Magento 2 Security Extension helps you stop suspicious behaviour before it becomes a security breach by monitoring every login to your admin panel.

Track successful and failed logins - review who accessed your admin panel and from which countries and IPs.

Monitor unusual login patterns - detect brute–force attacks by repeated failed login attempts.

Detect account sharing - notice when several people use the same account from different locations.

Detect and Prevent Potential Issues with Magento Security Scanner

Magefan’s Magento Security Scan checks your store for known security weaknesses, notifies you about them and tells you how to fix them. Run the security scan in Magento admin directly without any external tools or manual file checks.

Track File Changes in Magento

Get notified about any file changes in your Magento store to spot potential malware before it causes data leaks.

Magento Security Extension detects modified, added or removed files in your Magento directory regularly and sends you alerts.

See what files were affected, who made the change, when and at what time to trace back the source.

Prevent Customer Registration Spam in Magento

Prevent bots from abusing promotions, testing stolen cards, and filling your customer database with fake accounts.

Use Magefan Security Module for Magento to block fraud and temporary email addresses, so only real users can register at your store.

Notify users about the blocked email provider to block them before they cause problems.

Protect Magento Database

Magento Security Checker scans your database for the most common file risks, such as malware, insecure file permissions, or unauthorised files.

  • - Detect malware and malicious files in the database: find infected files that can steal data or inject code.
  • - Detect insecure file and folder permissions: spot permissions that give attackers more access.
  • - Find unauthorised custom files in the database: find files that don’t belong to your Magento or any third-party extensions you use.

Check the System for Malicious Files

Protect your store from automated scanners that can download your config or database backups directly from the web.

Detect unrestricted access to sensitive files and enforce stricter rules to prevent private config and system files from being accessed from the web.

The Magento 2 Security Extension also scans your database for exposed SQL dump files and detects sensitive backup files in the Magento directory which could leak sensitive data.

Download Magento Security Patches Regularly

Magento Security checker tells you exactly when it’s time to update Magento or the PHP version.

Download Magento security patches, install them, and update to fix known security vulnerabilities in time.

Avoid any potential risks and always stay updated.

Protect Magento Admin Security

Secure your Magento admin by finding and eliminating any potential login, password and permission vulnerabilities:

  • - Monitor admin account sharing and weak passwords: make sure each user has a separate account with a strong password.
  • - Check for missing reCAPTCHA: detect admin login and reset password forms that need protection.
  • - Check for excessive admin permissions: find and restrict users with more permissions than they need.

Detect Magento Security Vulnerabilities

Find critical gaps in Magento admin security faster with a dedicated Magento Security Extension.

Detect insecure admin paths or missing secret keys and get notified when two-factor authentication is disabled.

Make sure bots can’t find and attack your login page and somehow guess their way into your admin.

Frequently questions about the Magento 2 Security Extension

How does Magento security extension work?

collapsible icon
Magento security extension works by constantly monitoring the Magento system for any potential vulnerabilities, both on the backend and the frontend.

It detects suspicious activity, tracks all admin changes, monitors login activity, blocks fraudulent emails from logging in and notifies you about any file changes. Instead of manual checks, you rely on the extension to continuously check your store in real time.

What security issues can Magento 2 Security Extension prevent?

collapsible icon
Magento 2 security extension helps prevent common security threats like brute-force attacks, unauthorised admin logins, weak passwords, and misconfigured permissions. It also detects malicious files and malware in the system, suspicious backend behaviour, any unprotected files and other vulnerabilities.

Can Magento security plugin detect vulnerabilities automatically?

collapsible icon
Yes. Magento 2 security plugin can automatically detect common security vulnerabilities such as weak password policies, exposed admin paths, and malware and malicious files in the system. It continuously monitors your store and alerts you about potential risks so you can fix them before they are exploited.

What is the best Security Extension for Magento?

collapsible icon
Magefan Security Suite and Bot Blocker stand out among other security extensions by offering a dedicated security framework that allows merchants to detect security vulnerabilities, block malicious bots attacking different areas of the store directly in the admin panel, and get notified about any suspicious activities. The flexible pricing tiers allow merchants to choose the level of security monitoring - from a simple security scanner to smart bot and spam blocking rules.

What security features does Magento offer out of the box?

collapsible icon
Default Magento security features include multiple admin security settings, reCAPTCHA, two-factor authentication, and secret keys in admin URLs or custom admin URLs, which merchants have to configure manually. Magento doesn’t monitor file changes by default, and it doesn’t scan the system for exposed SQL dumps, backup files, or provide activity logs with login attempts or admin actions. You need a dedicated security extension to extend security measures for your store.

What security fixes are included in Magento 2 updates?

collapsible icon
Magento 2 security updates usually address system vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to bypass security features or execute malicious code. Adobe releases those fixes in a security bulletin with all issues rated from critical to moderate and a security patch for supported Magento versions.

How do I check if my Magento 2 store has been hacked?

collapsible icon
Common signs that your Magento store has been hacked are new or modified files in the core directories, unauthorised admin logins or suspicious new admin users. You can check it by comparing your files with a clean Magento copy via FTP or SSH, or use Magefan Security Scanner to automatically monitor any unauthorised actions in your directories and admin panel. The extension will notify you when it detects a threat.

Which files does the Magento 2 Security Extension track?

collapsible icon
Magefan Security Extension tracks changes in app/,vendor/,scripts/,bin/,lib/, and pub/ directories for new or changed files. The pub/static/, pub/media/, and any file with the “sitemap” in the name ar excluded, so notifications focus on code changes. It doesn’t monitor every file on the server or FTP.

How do I stop fake customer registrations in Magento 2?

collapsible icon
Use Magefan’s Magento Security module to block fake and temporary email addresses from registering directly from the admin, so only customers with real emails can create accounts. This keeps both your database and analytics clean.

How do I find exposed SQL dump and backup files in Magento 2?

collapsible icon
Magefan Security plugin or Magento detects exposed SQL dump and backup files in a public Magento directory and unrestricted access to those sensitive files. Then it sends you a notification about which files are exposed and shows them in the security scan panel.
