Title: Retired: Zen Cart Multiple Local File Include Vulnerabilities

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Zen Cart is a web-based e-commerce application implemented in PHP.

The application is prone to multiple local file-include vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the following scripts and parameters:

'admin/includes/initsystem.php': 'loader_file'
'admin/includes/languages/english.php': '_SESSION[language]'

An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities using directory-traversal strings to view files and execute local scripts in the context of the webserver process. This may aid in further attacks.

Zen Cart 1.3.8 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Further reports indicate that this issue is not exploitable, therefore this BID is being retired.

Affected Products:

  • Zen Ventures Zen Cart 1.3.8
