CVE-2018-11494: Path Traversal

May 26, 2018 (updated June 29, 2018)

The ‘program extension upload’ feature in OpenCart has a six-step process (upload, install, unzip, move, xml, remove) that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code if the remove step is skipped, because the attacker can discover a secret temporary directory name (containing random digits) via a directory traversal attack.
