  A-CART Database Exposure
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

 <http://www.alanward.net> A-CART is an ASP shopping cart application
written in VBScript. It is comprised of a number of ASP scripts and an
Access database.

A security vulnerability in the product allows remote attackers to
download the product's database, thus gain access to sensitive information
about users of the product (name, surname, address, e-mail, credit card
number, and user's login-password).

DETAILS

Problem:
Accessing the following URL will return the database used by the product:
http://acart.url/acart2_0/acart2_0.mdb

Solutions:
Once you have created the DSN, you need to tell A-CART its name. This can
be done by editing the line in db.asp, which says:
strConn = "acart2_0"

Change "acart2_0" to the name of the DSN you have created.
