Most secure CMS?


Question

I have e_107 install on one of my websites and I have secured it about as good as I can with the help from their forums, but it lacks many free themes or plugins.

Of all the CMS' available, which is the most secure to use? I would assume Joomla is the most supported currently, but is it in the most secure?

I have used PHPNUke in the past, but it was rather insecure, or needed a billion patches to become secure. It was very easy to use however.

Any thoughts? I should add that I am using a Linux server, so ASP is out of the question currently.

Im assuming Joomla because since its pretty popular and actively developed, even if it's a bit less secure than something else they'll make sure it gets fixed/secured fast?

I've used many CMS over the past few years and personally I don't like some things about Joomla either, Something else you may want to look into is drupal ?

I've used Wordpress with good results. It's not a full CMS, but with a few plugins and some creativity it can be adapted for any purpose. Making themes for it couldn't be any easier. Also, look into Expression Engine. It's secure, but it's not completely free. Again, a strong password will double any CMS' security.

I would also recommend Drupal. The open source community involved in that project are very quick to respond to any security issues with patches, and the overall support for the core and extended modules is outstanding.

Drupal.org

I am finding that out right now.

Almost ridiculous actually.

Yes, installation is a bit more involved than Joomla or WordPress currently. But unless you're setting up a multi-site installation, it's not all that difficult.

    • One of my PC's is Windows 11 Home Edition... and guess what? it supports Hyper-V Disks and Containers, as well as WSL2... which these desktop tools leverage on an as-needed basis. It does not need to be enabled system-wide; it merely needs to exist. Furthermore, I tried something yesterday with Hermes Desktop and their "installer" actually builds everything from source as part of its installer toolchain! The installer (and updater as it were) both go through a roughly 19-step process to prep the system for the tool to be used -- and connectivity to local/remote models, local/remote agent configs, and other steps are not included as part of this process (those are all user config steps post-install). ALSO, the "bug wasn't confirmed to exist" is the weakest argument against a bug. That's literally every flawed product's knee-jerk reaction! Even politicians, lawmakers, murderers, and other violent criminals start with that defense... "I deny everything I'm accused of." The bug is the (shared) experience. Whether it's truly Claude Code's fault, or user error, or some other software package being the ultimate culprit, is not the point. They are experiencing unpleasant side effects and don't like that.
    • Each generaton has its exciting times and I was fortunate enough to be right there at the beginning of the PC industry.   I don't think any of us at that time realized how large it would become I still remember working on a TRS-80 with a green screen monitor that kept overheating and dying.     Also used some TRS-80 PCs with tape cartridge memory.   They worked but boy were they slow with everything being a very slow sequential read or write.  But heh, they worked though it wasn't long before they were repaced by the HDD. 
    • One Drive should be a four letter word. First thing I disable on my computer. If I want to upload something to the cloud, I use a cloud base storage, NOT microsoft. Oh but what about backup. I have done backups since floppy disk eras...it just comes naturally.
    • It does just not OneCloud. 🤷🏻‍♂️
    • Claude Desktop on Linux doesn’t have ram issues. Strange. 🤷🏻‍♂️
