PrestaScan Security

PrestaScan Security is a free, open-source security module that scans your PrestaShop website for malware and known vulnerabilities in both the PrestaShop core and installed modules. Developed by Profileo in collaboration with the Friends Of Presta security cell — a community of security researchers, agencies, and contributors — it provides store owners with an accessible way to identify security threats without requiring technical expertise or complex configuration.

• Scans for malware and known vulnerabilities in the PrestaShop core and installed modules
• Sends security notifications when a vulnerability is discovered, publicly revealed, or known to be actively exploited — provided you have run at least one scan
• Displays back-office notifications when a module update is available, prompting you to keep the scanner current
• Guided setup within the module configuration — no technical knowledge required to run scans
• Continuously maintained by a team of security experts who monitor CVE publications and partner agency research

PrestaScan Security is best suited for PrestaShop store owners and developers who want a proactive, community-backed tool to monitor their site's security posture. It is particularly valuable for merchants who lack dedicated security resources but need timely alerts about vulnerabilities affecting their installed modules. The module is free to use, with optional paid plans planned for future features such as scan automation and reduced scan frequency limits.
