Does using Joomla! mean a website is unsafe?

No. Joomla! is a stack component, not a verdict. ScanMalware scores the whole page — its scripts, redirects, certificates, threat-intelligence matches and behaviour — so a site using Joomla! can be perfectly safe or actively malicious.

How many sites using Joomla! has ScanMalware scanned?

Joomla! has been detected in 2,294 public scans on ScanMalware.com. Each scan is a real headless-browser visit, and the figure updates as new URLs are submitted.

Joomla!

Joomla is an established open-source content-management system, positioned between WordPress and Drupal in complexity. It is detected from its generator meta tag, administrator paths and asset fingerprints.

Outdated Joomla cores and third-party extensions are a frequent cause of site compromise and defacement. A Joomla detection is a cue to verify the version and inspect the page for injected content.

How ScanMalware detects Joomla!

Joomla! is detected from generator meta tags, characteristic URL paths and login endpoints, and the theme and plugin asset fingerprints it exposes.

From any scan you can pivot into related signals — JARM TLS fingerprints, ASN ownership and BGP routing, certificate history, JavaScript analysis and the overall security verdict — to understand not just that Joomla! is present, but how it is being used.
