How to install SUPEE-6285

According to announce sent on July 7, 2015 to all Magento installations new security patch SUPEE-6285 should be installed in addition to three recent patches (SUPEE-5994, SUPEE-5344 and SUPEE-1533).

July 7, 2015: New Magento Security Patch (SUPEE-6285) – Install Immediately Today we are providing a new security patch (SUPEE-6285) that addresses critical security vulnerabilities. The patch is available for Community Edition 1.4.1 to 1.9.1.1 and is part of the core code of our latest release, Community Edition 1.9.2, available for download today. PLEASE NOTE: You must first implement SUPEE-5994 to ensure SUPEE-6285 works properly. Download Community Edition 1.9.2 or the patch from the Community Edition download page: https://magento.com/tech-resources/download
New SUPEE-6285 patch can be downloaded as usual from Downloads page: https://magento.com/tech-resources/download or installed as a regular Magento upgrade via Downloader (it is included in Magento 1.9.2.1 version). You can install it in the same way as previous patches or by upgrading to Magento 1.9.2.1. To apply the patches you need SSH access (shell access actually, SSH is just most used way to get shell access) to the server. To apply patches without SSH access please refer to this article. If you wish to save time and have us to install these patches for you, simply click here to order installation.

Step 0: Preparations

Make sure to Disable Magento Compiler at System > Configuration > Tools > Magento Compiler and clear compiled cache.

Step 1: Verify your Magento version

$ grep -A6 'static function getVersionInfo' app/Mage.php
    public static function getVersionInfo()
    {
        return array(
            'major'     => '1',
            'minor'     => '9',
            'revision'  => '1',
            'patch'     => '1',
As you can see in the example, it is Magento 1.9.1.1

Step 2: Download corresponding patches

Patches are obtained from https://magento.com/tech-resources/download Make sure to get the right version.

Step 3: Place patches into Magento Root directory

Upload your files into Magento root directory. It is important to place patch files directly into Magento root directory and execute it also directly in Magento root directory.
$ ls -1 .
PATCH_SUPEE-6285_CE_1.9.1.1_v1-2015-07-07-09-03-34.sh
app
cron.php
downloader
errors
favicon.ico
index.php
js
lib
mage
media
pkginfo
robots.txt
shell
skin
var
 

Step 4: Run the patches

$ bash ./PATCH_SUPEE-6285_CE_1.9.1.1_v1-2015-07-07-09-03-34.sh
Checking if patch can be applied/reverted successfully...
Patch was applied/reverted successfully.

Step 5: Verification and flush of PHP opcode cache

Verify patch status at our patch tester page. Test that your store is working. If you use PHP opcode caches (APC/XCache/eAccelerator) make sure to flush it after patching (or restart webserver), otherwise code will continue to run from caches. Additionally, if your store still using default /admin/ path, you may consider securing your Magento /admin/ by admin path change and restrict access to /downloader/. If you have any difficulties with applying the patches please let us know in comments, so we can find the solution together.
