Where to report possible joomla malware?

Post by bulgin » Wed Aug 09, 2017 1:01 am

I have run across a component that seems to contain malicious code but don't want to advertise the information.

This is NOT a malicious script but rather content of one of the important files that make joomla run in quickstart mode is very suspicious.

Where should I direct such findings?

Thank you.

If it is a third party component you could report it at https://vel.joomla.org/submit-vel.

If it is a Joomla's core component you could report it at https://developer.joomla.org/security/c ... -team.html.
