How it was found

Hi,

This is an interesting vulnerability, when a Shopify app whose redirect_uri points to a malformed URI handler like shit:google.com gets installed to a Shop then, it will effectively prevent the admins to see and remove installed apps to his/her shop.

Reproduction

  1. Create a Shopify App at https://app.shopify.com/services/partners/api_clients/new
  2. Enter any for the App and set its Application Callback URL to shit:google.com
  3. Save the App.
  4. Create an OAuth URL for the App, Like - https://vulnstore.myshopify.com/admin/oauth/authorize?scope=read_customers&client_id=cad94488c733b0f377a9a1d7952db802
  5. Now try to install the app by clicking "Install <AppName>" in the OAuth permission dialogue. It won't redirect after clicking.
  6. Go and visit https://vulnstore.myshopify.com/admin/apps The page will throw internal server 500 and usual error message.

This will not let admin remove any of his app till the malicious app is deleted by the app developer.

POC App: https://[store].myshopify.com/admin/oauth/authorize?scope=read_customers&client_id=cad94488c733b0f377a9a1d7952db802
