I discovered this vulnerability, and I think it's an interesting one that warrants a closer look.

There are Gadget Chains available in Opencart - including a few that I found and submitted to the PHPGGC project:

https://github.com/ambionics/phpggc/pull/199 (not yet merged).

The vulnerability in The Marketer module, combined with these Gadget Chains, allows remote unauthenticated RCE so it got a very high CVSS score.

Research: PHP Object Injection in Aridius Opencart modules

As part of my research into Gadget Chains and PHP Object Injection, I discovered an exploitable vulnerability in multiple OpenCart modules named aridius_XYZ.

It appears that current "official" releases of Aridius modules are not vulnerable. However, it also appears to be common for "unofficial" versions of the extensions to be used.

At the time of discovery, at least one such unofficial version was available for free download from the OpenCart marketplace - this release was vulnerable.

The vulnerability is exploitable remotely without authentication.

Research: SQli in Coinremitter OpenCart module

I found multiple SQLi vulnerabilities in the Coinremitter OpenCart module.

The most serious of these allows an unauthenticated attacker to access any and all content stored in the database.

This potentially exposed credentials for a crypto currency wallet, as well as allowing full compromise of the site.

This was assigned CVE-2025-1117
