PrestaShop Upload Folder Indexing Check
PrestaShop upload folders (/upload/, /img/) may be exposed if indexing is enabled. Learn how to protect your files and images from public viewing.
What this test checks
This test checks whether PrestaShop upload folders (like /upload/, /img/, /images/, /files/) are accessible and whether indexing is enabled. An unprotected folder allows any visitor to list all uploaded files, including product images, sensitive documents, invoices, or malicious files.
Our recommendation
Protect upload folders with a .htaccess file containing 'Options -Indexes' or, for Nginx, 'autoindex off;'. Add an empty index.html file in each folder. Regularly check folder access to ensure indexing is disabled. Use a PrestaShop security module for extra protection.
