What?
Fixes a security issue whereby an attacker could use insecure direct object referencing (IDOR). Previously, it was possible to pass another store's hash as a query param to an API endpoint in the app. This would have permitted access to another store's data - so long as that store had installed the app and belonged to the same storefront.
Why?
Security assessment flagged IDOR.
