The owner needed certainty about whether their Shopify theme was compromised or backdoored. The 191-file theme export had to be checked not just for active malware but for the quieter risks — a pirated theme phoning home, an app with an open injection surface, or undisclosed tracking — that a quick look would miss.

• Scanned all 191 theme files and confirmed the theme was a legitimately licensed copy (verified through the vendor's intact, design-mode-only telemetry), with no skimmer, backdoor, or obfuscated payload.
• Identified the real top risk: a page-builder app that renders store metafields into every page unsanitized — a script-injection surface that sits outside the theme files and would be the likeliest silent-reinfection vector.
• Flagged, with awareness rather than alarm, undisclosed competitor-tool evasion code and legitimate-but-unlisted tracking that belonged in the privacy policy.
• Cleared the base64 and eval hits as inert CSS and confirmed the settings and provenance were clean.

The client got what a clean bill of health should actually look like: a confident “no active malware” verdict backed by evidence, plus a forward-looking risk map so they knew where a future compromise would most likely come from (the app injection surface) rather than a false sense that nothing needed watching.

A clean verdict is a deliverable, not an anticlimax — provided it names where the next attack would come from instead of saying nothing is wrong.
