Sensitive Files
Shopify Sensitive File Exposure Check
Shopify configuration files (config/settings_data.json, .shopify, config.yml) can expose critical data. Detect their presence and learn how to secure them.
What this test checks
This test checks whether sensitive Shopify files (config/settings_data.json, .shopify, config.yml, shopify.yml) are publicly accessible. These files may contain configuration settings, credentials, or information about your store. Their exposure can compromise your e‑commerce site security.
Our recommendation
Ensure these files are not accessible via URL. Place them outside the public directory or configure the server to block them. Regularly check their accessibility.
