Manager Paul Peschisolido said: "Scott's done really well since he's come here. He's still a young lad but has got a really bright future.
"He offers us more of an attacking option for the full-back position with his pace and athleticism."
Malone, who spent time in League One last season with Southend,
initially joined Burton in October on a one-month loan deal,
before extending his stay until January.
I'm really happy we have him until the end of the season

"He had a spell out on loan at Southend last year," Peschisolido added.
"Other than that he's just been playing reserve and academy football so far. It's a big step up but he's performed well.
"I think there will be a certain amount of inconsistency but we need to be patient, and I'm really happy we have him until the end of the season."
