Description

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in includes/classes/shopping_cart.php in Zen Cart 1.2.0 through 1.3.8a, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the id parameter when (1) adding or (2) updating the shopping cart.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
