Security work starts by understanding the store’s actual code, version, extensions and exposure. A patch is useful only when it applies cleanly and the resulting store still operates correctly.

Suitable work

Magento and OpenMage security updates;
patch applicability and installation review;
failed or conflicting patch investigation;
suspected compromise and malware investigation;
controlled cleanup, recovery and hardening;
post-remediation verification and upgrade planning.

For a compromised store, immediate containment and longer-term modernization may be separate scopes. No public form should contain credentials, private keys, database exports or customer data.
