Joomla has many extensions. For every feature that you can think of there is already an extensions that is written and ready to be installed. But that convenience comes at an expense. What if a new extension that you install is not secure? Because if it is, then it will compromise the security of your whole website, not just the feature(s) pertaining to that extension. So, what to do in this case? Well, before installing any extension, you need to make sure that the extension is trusted, here’s how:
- Check how many people downloaded/reviewed the extension. If the number is small, then avoid the extension altogether.
- Check the reviews by the people who have installed the extension. Are there reviews complaining about security issues with this particular extension? If you even find one such review, then avoid the extension altogether.
- If you insist on using an extension that is not used by many people, then hire a Joomla consulting company to audit the extension.
