Hi everyone,

I’ve recently started managing a small website built on XOOPS, and I’m slowly learning the ropes. One topic I keep seeing come up is cybersecurity, especially as open-source platforms can sometimes be more exposed if not maintained properly.

I came across a list of Cybersecurity Interview Questions and Answers while doing some research, and it made me realize how much I still have to learn. Some of the questions touched on CMS vulnerabilities, SQL injection, and proper permission settings—all things that seem highly relevant to XOOPS.

So I wanted to ask: What are some basic steps I should take to secure my XOOPS site? Are there plugins or modules you recommend? I’m especially curious if anyone here has created a checklist or guide for best practices in this area.

Would really appreciate any advice or resources you can share. Thanks in advance for helping a newbie stay ahead of any security issues!

Best regards
