About Joomla Security Testing

Joomla Security Testing is an essential part of managing any Joomla based site. Joomla is a popular open source content management system, making it a popular target for attackers. Any sufficiently popular software is probed and attacked by both automated scripts (bots) and more targeted attackers.

Our range of online web security testing for Joomla and other web platforms has you covered for a variety of use cases.

The freely available tools perform analysis from a simple page grab. Through the examination of the HTML source code, javascript, and a few other open publicly accessible pages it is possible to gain immediate insights into the state of security on the target site. This is without sending any aggressive security scanning, using only passive analysis methods.

Our second form of scanning involves using active security testing tools (Custom Joomla Checks along with OpenVAS & Nikto are examples) that send hundreds of requests against the target site to find security issues (vulnerabilities) that are not immediately apparent from passive analysis.

About JoomlaVS and Active Joomla Testing

JoomlaVS is an open source Joomla security project developed in Ruby. It provided a useful way to enumerate Joomla components and understand how targeted CMS security checks can be performed. As a reference tool, it remains a worthwhile legacy project for researchers and defenders.

Our active Joomla scan no longer relies on JoomlaVS directly. Instead, we use our own maintained checks designed to better reflect current Joomla deployments and provide more up-to-date testing coverage.

For those who want to review the legacy project, JoomlaVS is still available on GitHub. We previously also offered the OWASP Joomla Vulnerability Scanner, but that project is now long outdated and no longer reflects current Joomla security issues.
