Impact

OpenCart 3.0.3.6 contains a cross‑site request forgery vulnerability in the /account/edit endpoint that allows an unauthenticated attacker to modify a victim’s account details, including the email address, by tricking the user into visiting a malicious page. The attacker can then trigger the password‑reset function to obtain unauthorized access to the compromised account, enabling a full account takeover.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects OpenCart installations running version 3.0.3.6. All sites using this version are potentially compromised, regardless of custom extensions, unless a later patch has been applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 classifies the flaw as moderate severity. The EPSS score is reported as less than 1%, indicating a very low likelihood of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no publicly known exploitation at the time of analysis. The attack requires only a malicious link to be visited by an authenticated user, making the exploitation path straightforward with no privileged access or technical barrier. The primary attack vector is a CSRF request.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply official OpenCart patch if available
  • Ensure that the /account/edit handler requires a cryptographically secure CSRF token or same‑site cookie; reject requests lacking a valid token (this addresses the CWE‑352 weakness)
  • Enable multi‑factor authentication for all administrator and customer accounts to limit damage if an account is compromised.
