Introduction

One of the most well-liked open-source content management systems is Joomla. Due to its popularity and the large number of extensions that are readily available to us, it is a particularly appealing target for attackers. As a result, we advise you to examine your site’s security using some Joomla scans. Additionally, the scans are valuable for identifying security flaws, setup mistakes, and links with a bad reputation. You can therefore start working on reducing the vulnerabilities by utilising them.

Security

Security is equally crucial to website content and design. Unfortunately, we frequently ignore this until unpleasant consequences arise. A Joomla server that is improperly configured or hardened may be open to numerous threats. These include information leakage, SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting, and remote code execution.

Additionally, one should always undertake a process cycle called security against web apps. Tools like Hacker Target, Detectify, SUCURI, SiteGuarding, and others are excellent Joomla security scanners.
