Magento Security Patches and its Benefits

Magento Security Patches Magento is one of the leading e-commerce platforms. There are naturally higher chances for hackers to attack Magento and its users. These attacks might cause security issues leading to bugs and glitches in the core codes. When these security issues are fixed, the code that has fixed the bug needs to be updated in the existing Magento sites. Usually, these fixes are in the form of code changes commonly known as “patches�. Magento recently came up with self-installing patch scripts that include all the updates to fix the security issues detected. The patch script is located in the existing code files of Magento and applies updates to the required files and saves the result. Whenever there is a new security patch is released, Magento will also release an updated version of the application that includes the new patch and all previously updated security patches. All you need to do is apply the new patch to previous versions of Magento.
