Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities in Zen Cart

Zen Cart is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate these vulnerabilities, Zen Cart users should ensure that all user-supplied input is properly sanitized and validated before being used in dynamically generated content. Input validation and output encoding techniques should be used to prevent XSS attacks.
