    Description
    
    ***********
    
    Zone-h Security Team has discovered a flaw in C-Cart Shopping Cart
    v1.0. C-Cart is "a powerful yet simple shopping cart written in PHP 
    with a MySQL database to store the product details".
    
    
    
    Details
    
    *******
     
    It's possible to make a malformed http request for many files in
    C-Cart Shopping Cart and in doing so trigger an error. 
    The resulting error message will disclose potentially sensitive 
    installation 
    path information to the remote attacker.
    
    Example:
    
    http://www.site.com/shop/search.php?q='
    http://www.site.com/shop/show.php?q='
    
    
    
    Solution:
    
    *********
    
    The vendor has been contacted and a patch is not yet produced.
    
    
    Suggestions:
    
    ************
    
    Filter all files.
