Description:
CraCkEr has discovered two vulnerabilities in Zen Cart, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

1) Input passed to the "loader_file" parameter in admin/includes/initsystem.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled and that the server is not configured to use ".htaccess" files.

2) Input passed to the "_SESSION[language]" parameter in admin/includes/languages/english.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled, "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled, and that the server is not configured to use ".htaccess" files.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in versions 1.3.8 and 1.3.8a and reported in all previous 1.3.x versions. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Apply the vendor's official patch:
