Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to a local file inclusion attack.

Description

The installed version of Zen Cart does not validate user-supplied input to the 'typefilter' parameter of the 'index.php' script. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can leverage this issue to read arbitrary files on the remote web server with the permissions that the web server process runs with.

Solution

Upgrade to Zen Cart 1.3.9g or later.
