X-Cart is prone to SQL injection and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. These issues are due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

These vulnerabilities could permit remote attackers to pass malicious input to database queries, resulting in modification of query logic or other attacks. Successful exploitation could result in a compromise of the application, disclosure or modification of data, or may permit an attacker to exploit vulnerabilities in the underlying database implementation. An attacker may also steal cookie-based authentication credentials and carry out other attacks.

X-Cart 4.0.8 is reportedly vulnerable. Other versions may be affected as well.
