osCommerce Local File Include and HTML Injection Vulnerabilities. osCommerce is prone to a local file-include vulnerability and an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit the local file-include vulnerability using directory-traversal strings to execute local files within the context of the webserver process. The attacker may leverage the HTML-injection issue to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in the context of the affected browser. This may let the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials or control how the site is rendered to the user. osCommerce 3.0a5 is affected. Other versions may also be vulnerable. No known solution was made available for at least one year since the disclosure of this vulnerability. Likely none will be provided anymore. General solution options are to upgrade to a newer release, disable respective features, remove the product, or replace the product by another one
