Shopify App gem can mix up which shop a request belongs to
A request signed in for one Shopify store could carry a different store's name in its address, and the app might treat it as the wrong store. That could expose another store's data.

How the attack works simplified
- 1Attacker with one shop's tokenHolds a valid session for Shop A
- 2Crafted requestAdds shop=ShopB in the query
- 3Context resolved wronglycurrent_shopify_domain uses the shop parameter
- 4Wrong shop's dataApp scopes queries to Shop B
- ResultAttacker reads or changes another shop's data
What happened
In shopify_app token-exchange authenticated controllers, current_shopify_domain can resolve to the sanitized shop query parameter instead of the shop from the verified ID token or session, enabling cross-shop context confusion.
Are you affected?
You are affected if your app uses shopify_app 22.1.0 up to (not including) 23.0.3 with token-exchange authentication and relies on current_shopify_domain or params[:shop] for shop-scoped access.
| Package / product | Affected versions | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| shopify_app · rubygems | >= 22.1.0, < 23.0.3 | 23.0.3 |
What to do
- Upgrade shopify_app to version 23.0.3 or later
- Until upgraded, stop using params[:shop] or current_shopify_domain for authorization, tenant lookup or data scoping; use current_shopify_session.shop or the verified JWT dest value instead
- If you keep a shop parameter, reject requests with 401 Unauthorized when it does not match the authenticated shop
