Question

Posted (edited)

Hello, perhaps a simple question, but important for me:

is it an idea to rename a purchased module (including all files and necessary changes in them) so that it is perhaps not visible from the outside with the known name?

I don't know exactly how SQL injections work, for example, but perhaps files are searched for known names (modules) and this could perhaps prevent it a little?

A module always presents a certain risk until something about it appears at https://security.friendsofpresta.org/. But many developers still need many weeks or months to come up with a fix.

 

In that case, would I have to change all the names in every file that is contained in the module? For example, if the developer calls the module 'moduleone', would I have to rename every expression 'moduleone' to 'newname'?
