Zen Cart · Zen Cart · CVE-2009-2254
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Zen Cart versions 1.3.8a, 1.3.8, and earlier
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the `query string` parameter in an execute action, in conjunction with a PATH INFO of "password forgotten.php". This is related to a SQL execution issue, where administrative authentication is not required for access to admin/sqlpatch.php.
**Recommendations**
For Zen Cart versions 1.3.8a, 1.3.8, and earlier, consider restricting access to the admin/sqlpatch.php file and require administrative authentication to mitigate the risk of SQL command execution. Avoid using the `query string` parameter in the execute action until the issue is resolved.
