Attacks against public applications are not theoretical.
These figures are not just for enterprise teams. They show how expensive, common, and persistent risk has become for internet-facing applications.

Why OpenCart needs protection built around real store traffic
An ecommerce store is public while also containing business logic, customer data, orders, and admin access. That makes OpenCart security a practical day-to-day need, not a project to postpone.
The catalog is always exposed
Your storefront receives constant traffic, crawlers, bots, and probes. If there is a weak point, the catalog is usually one of the first places where it will be tested.
Admin is a high-value target
Anyone who reaches the admin surface can influence content, orders, users, and settings. Admin protection needs dedicated attention, not an afterthought.
Themes, extensions, and custom code widen the attack surface
Each addition makes the store more capable, but it also increases the amount of surface that must be protected consistently.
First Release
CSL SQLi Guard starts the OpenCart Protect suite.
We are starting with the highest-intent problem: how to protect OpenCart from SQL injection probes without making store owners manage a complex security stack.
- Built for OpenCart stores instead of generic web security promises.
- Focused on the two surfaces that matter most: catalog and admin.
- Released for free as the first public plugin in the protection suite.
- Paid support and custom features remain available when you need store-specific work.
The Suite
OpenCart protection starts with one useful free plugin.
CSL SQLi Guard is the first release. Next, OpenCart Protect will grow into a broader set of security plugins and protection tools for real OpenCart stores.
This is where it starts
Our first security plugin helps protect OpenCart catalog and admin traffic from common SQL injection probes.
More will follow
We will keep adding new free plugins, one by one, with a focus on practical and understandable protection.
And when you need more
If a store needs support, custom work, or something more specific, that will still be available separately.
Paid Services

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about OpenCart protection
What is CSL SQLi Guard for OpenCart?
CSL SQLi Guard is the first free OpenCart security plugin in our lineup. It adds a practical request-layer SQL injection protection layer for both the catalog side and the admin side of an OpenCart store.
Will more free OpenCart security plugins be released?
Yes. CSL SQLi Guard is the start of the suite, and more free OpenCart security plugins will follow, with a focus on practical protection for real stores.
Is one OpenCart security plugin enough for full protection?
No. A strong OpenCart security plugin helps, but it does not replace updates, proper hardening, extension reviews, backups, prepared statements, and secure day-to-day operations.
How can I get OpenCart support or custom development?
If you need OpenCart support, custom compatibility work, or security-focused custom development, you can contact our team through the OpenCart Greece support portal.
