Shopify Upload Folder Security Check
Shopify upload folders must be protected to prevent public access to uploaded files. Check their security and strengthen protection.
What this test checks
This test checks whether Shopify upload folders (like /uploads/, /files/) are properly secured. Unsecured folders can expose sensitive files (images, documents) to public access, compromising the confidentiality of customer data.
Our recommendation
Protect upload folders with restrictive permissions and .htaccess files. Use Shopify's built‑in security settings to limit access to uploaded files. Regularly check folder permissions.
