How to Get the List of Installed Magento Patches

Just as the recent patch release Magento SUPEE 11346, Magento keeps on releasing security patches for protection against vulnerabilities and potential attacks.

Magento store owners find it difficult to keep the track of which patches are already installed in their store. Also, it’s required to double check Magento patches are installed successfully. There are two methods to get the list of installed Magento patches.

1. Using magereport.com
2. Via applied.patches.list file

Both the methods are listed below to select to check which Magento patches are installed in your website.

Check for Installed Magento Patches Using Magereport

magereport.com is a great resource providing the ability to run the test on Magento websites for vulnerabilities and give the overview of which patches have been installed and the certainty of proper installation.

Get the List of Installed Magento Patches using applied.patches.list File

There are commands which can give the details about the SUPEE patches installed in your store. All patches that were installed without any errors are logged into app/etc/applied.patches.list file. Open this file in any text editor to find out all installed patches and files that were customized in the process.

Few commands to get the list of installed Magento patches as follows:

1. To get the list of security patches installed:
   
   $ grep -F '|' app/etc/applied.patches.list|cut -f 2 -d'|' SUPEE-5994 SUPEE-3762 SUPEE-1533

   1 2 3 4

   $ grep -F '|' app/etc/applied.patches.list|cut -f 2 -d'|' SUPEE-5994 SUPEE-3762 SUPEE-1533

2. To get the list of security patches installed along with its dates of installation:
   
   $ grep -F '|' app/etc/applied.patches.list|cut -f 2,1 -d'|' 2015-06-21 11:27:22 IST | SUPEE-5994 2015-06-21 10:18:17 IST | SUPEE-3762 2015-06-21 08:44:54 IST | SUPEE-1533

   1 2 3 4

   $ grep -F '|' app/etc/applied.patches.list|cut -f 2,1 -d'|' 2015-06-21 11:27:22 IST | SUPEE-5994 2015-06-21 10:18:17 IST | SUPEE-3762 2015-06-21 08:44:54 IST | SUPEE-1533

    

Run the above commands and you’ll get the required information. This method only works if you have patched Magento using SSH.

You may also try this module to see a list of all applied Magento patches from the Magento admin panel!

Both the methods are pretty much easy but still if you face any difficulty, you may ask in the comments section below.

With nearing of Magento 1 end of life, it is strongly recommended to migrate to the latest Magento 2.3.5 rather than installing Magento SUPEE patches.

Flash 5 stars if you find the post useful 🙂

Keep safeguarding your store!
