SHOPIFY CLI PATCHES SESSION DATA LEAK IN DEBUG LOGS

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Shopify

Shopify CLI just plugged a security hole that was exposing session cookies in debug output, and you need to pull this immediately.

The vulnerability [1] [2] was straightforward but critical: cookies weren't being redacted from debug logs, meaning anyone tailing logs in development could see session data. The fix adds 'cookie' to the sanitized keywords list and updates tests to verify it sticks. This is the kind of silent leak that works its way into production logs if you're not careful.

In parallel cleanup, the team reverted the entire hosted app project [3] after deciding to shelf that feature work. They preserved the asset upload infrastructure so other extension types keep working, but this was a full strategic step back on the admin extensibility roadmap. Worth noting if you were tracking that initiative.

Two smaller refinements landed: filesystem mocks got cleaned up in copy-by-pattern tests [4], and git tag retrieval logic shed some duplication [5]. Both reduce maintenance burden, neither blocks your deploys.
