Zen Cart custom SQL Injection Vulnerability

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Checks for SQL injection flaw in Zen Cart

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is prone to a SQL
injection attack.

Description :

The remote host is running Zen Cart, an open-source web-based shopping
cart written in PHP.

The version of Zen Cart installed on the remote host fails to properly
sanitize input to the 'custom' parameter of the 'ipn_main_handler.php'
script before using it in a database query. Provided PHP's
'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is disabled, an unauthenticated attacker
may be able to exploit this issue to uncover sensitive information
such as password hashes, modify data, launch attacks against the
underlying database, etc.
