Local File Include and HTML Injection Vulnerabilities in osCommerce

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.

Mitigation:

It is recommended to sanitize user-supplied input to prevent local file-include and HTML-injection vulnerabilities. Additionally, keeping the osCommerce installation up to date with the latest security patches can help mitigate these vulnerabilities.
