Technical details

An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability exists in CS-Cart 4.18.3 within the vendor sticker management functionality. The vulnerable endpoint, located at vendor.php?dispatch=ab__stickers.change_vendor_status, fails to perform server-side authorization checks on the company_id and sticker_id parameters. A remote, authenticated attacker with low privileges can manipulate these identifiers in the HTTP request to modify the status of stickers belonging to other companies. This bypasses intended access controls, allowing unauthorized changes to third-party vendor settings. As of the advisory date, users are advised to implement server-side ownership validation for all company-related requests.
