Technical details
An unsafe deserialization vulnerability exists in the `getCartItems` function within `application/libraries/ShoppingCart.php`. The application uses the PHP `unserialize()` function on the contents of the `shopping_cart` cookie without prior validation. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can provide a serialized object instead of the expected array, causing a fatal error (HTTP 500) when the application attempts to process the object as a string during database query building. This results in a denial of service for the shopping cart functionality and discloses internal stack traces and filesystem paths. The issue has been addressed in commit 49b20f5 by replacing PHP serialization with JSON encoding and implementing integer validation for product IDs.
