Magento Security Patches and Common Issues while applying them

The Magento team releases patches when any vulnerability in the system is found in order to keep Magento secure and reliable. On Feb 2015, Magento has already released one critical security patch (SUPEE-5344), which was aimed to address a remote command execution. It’s been more than two months since the release and still more than 50% of all of the Magento installations worldwide have not been patched and are being open to attacks.
