I need a security-minded Magento specialist to remove every trace of malicious code from my store and then bring the platform fully up to date with the 2.4.8 security patches. I haven’t attempted any fixes myself yet, so you’ll be starting with an untouched environment that still shows the symptoms of infection. The site runs Magento 2 with a few third-party extensions and some light custom code. Your job is to: • Identify and clean all malware across core files, themes, and the extension folders, without breaking existing functionality. • Patch and install Magento 2.4.8 security patches version, confirming that all included security updates are applied. • Test the store end-to-end—checkout, admin panel, cron jobs, and the custom modules—to be sure everything still works once the cleanup and upgrade are complete. • Provide a brief after-action report summarising what you found, which files were modified, and any preventive steps I should follow. Please bring solid Magento 2 experience, comfort with SSH, composer, and backups, plus a methodical approach to security hardening.

With Magento malware the priority is the payment path — skimmers love to inject card-stealing JavaScript into checkout and hide backdoors that reinfect after cleanup, so removing the visible malware isn't enough unless the entry point is closed too. My approach over SSH: take a full backup first, then compare your core files against the clean Magento 2.4.8 baseline via composer so anything modified or added stands out immediately, and inspect themes, the extension folders and custom code for injected scripts, unknown admin users and suspicious cron entries or database payloads. Once it's clean I apply the 2.4.8 security patches, confirm the updates took, and reindex. Then I test end to end — checkout, admin, cron and your custom modules — so nothing broke, and harden file permissions, admin access and known attack vectors. You'll get an after-action report of what I found, which files changed, and preventive steps. I can start immediately once you share SSH access.

Hi, You’re dealing with the kind of Magento issue that usually hides in places most fixes miss: the store can look “partially normal” while infected files and unsafe patches still linger. I can help clean the malware from core, theme, and extension areas, then bring the site up to Magento 2.4.8 security patches while keeping checkout, admin, cron, and custom modules stable. I’ve handled Magento 2 cleanup, composer-based upgrades, SSH recovery work, and post-fix verification on stores with third-party extensions and light custom code. My approach is methodical: backup first, isolate malicious changes, clean and validate files, apply the required security updates, then test the full store flow and confirm nothing regressed. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. Do you already have recent full backups and SSH/composer access available for the cleanup and upgrade? I’ll also share a brief after-action report so you know exactly what was changed and how to reduce the risk of reinfection. Looking forward to your reply so we can finalize the exact plan. Best regards, Asad

Hi, I can help you with the malware cleanup and Magento 2.4.8 patching. This is right in my wheelhouse. I've cleaned out infected stores before, and the key is being methodical. I'll start by tracing the entry point, then sweep core files, themes, and extension folders for anything suspicious, and only then apply the security patches via composer. After that I'll run through checkout, admin, cron, and your custom modules to make sure nothing broke. I'm Edward, been working with Magento 2 for over a decade. One quick note on the budget: at the 30-250 range, I can do a thorough cleanup and patch, but the end-to-end testing and after-action report might need to stay focused on the critical paths. Let's chat about what's most important to you.

Cleaning malware out of a live Magento store without breaking third-party extensions or custom code is where most cleanups go sideways. I'd start by pulling a full backup and then running a file integrity check against the official 2.4.x manifest to isolate modified core files before touching anything in app/code or the theme layer. From there I'd scan for eval statements, base64 blobs, and suspicious cron entries, then stage the 2.4.8 patches in a clone environment and test checkout plus your custom modules before pushing live. I've handled server builds and e-commerce platforms under tight deadlines (VPS setup for an Australian SaaS client, WooCommerce storefront rebuild), so I'm comfortable working in SSH with composer and MySQL. You can see more at ffulb.com. If you can share SSH credentials and admin panel access I can take a look at the infection footprint and map out exactly which files need attention before we start the cleanup.
