Free Magento 2 Malware Scanner &
Website Security Scanner

MageArgus is a free Magento 2 malware scanner and website security scanner from W3ctrl. Run an instant Magento virus scan on any store URL to detect malware, Magecart card-skimmers, missing security patches and known CVEs — then get a clear 0–100 security score with copy-paste fixes. Magento and Adobe Commerce power some of the largest stores on the web, which makes them a constant target: vulnerabilities like SessionReaper (CVE-2025-54236), CosmicSting (CVE-2024-34102) and TrojanOrders (CVE-2022-24086) are weaponised within days of disclosure, and skimmer gangs silently steal card data from unpatched checkouts. MageArgus shows you exactly what an attacker sees — and how to fix it.

What the Magento security scan checks

Enter your store URL and the Magento security scanner runs a passive, safe website malware scan that fingerprints your platform and tests it against the threats actively hitting Magento, WordPress and PHP websites today. The scan is designed around the OWASP Top 10 for ecommerce, helping merchants maintain Magento PCI DSS Compliance by verifying that cardholder data and payment flows are securely configured and protected from known attack vectors.

• Malware & virus scan — scans your storefront and pages for injected malicious code, webshells and known malware signatures (a true Magento virus scan, no install required).
• Magecart & skimmer detection — finds injected JavaScript card-skimmers and known exfiltration indicators on checkout and storefront pages.
• Version & CVE mapping — detects your Magento/Adobe Commerce version and maps it to every known critical CVE and missing security patch.
• TLS/SSL & security headers — verifies HTTPS, HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options and other hardening headers.
• Exposed file detection — flags publicly reachable source-control, configuration, database dumps, backups and other sensitive files that leak secrets.
• Security score out of 100 — every finding is weighted into a single, shareable grade with prioritised, copy-paste remediation steps.

Scan Magento, WordPress & PHP websites for malware

MageArgus works as a general website malware security scanner as well as a dedicated Magento tool. Use it as a free WordPress malware scanner or a PHP website malware scanner to check any site for injected malware, blacklisting, insecure headers and exposed files. Scanning your WordPress and PHP environments regularly is critical for defending against cross-site contamination. Whatever the platform, you get the same attacker’s-eye website virus scanner report and a clear remediation plan.
