The version of Zen Cart installed on the remote host is affected by a design error that allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication and gain access to the applicationβs admin section by appending β/password_forgotten.phpβ to URLs. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to disclosure of sensitive information such as customer data, SQL injection attacks, or arbitrary code execution.
