Description:
Cassiopeia has reported a security issue in RediCart and S-Mart Shopping Cart Script, allowing malicious people to view the configuration file.

The problem is that the configuration file "smart.cfg" by default is located in the same directory as the CGI scripts. This can be exploited to view the configuration.

This has been confirmed in RediCart v3.9.5b, which is based on S-Mart Shopping Cart Script v1.9.

Solution:
Edit the source code and place the configuration file in a non-public folder.
