## Technical details

Quick.Cart (tested in version 6.7, but affecting all versions) suffers from CWE-256: Plaintext Storage of a Password. The application stores hard-coded administrative credentials in a configuration file on the server's file system without encryption or hashing. An attacker with local access to the server's file system (e.g., via a separate vulnerability or compromised low-privileged account) can retrieve these credentials to gain full administrative access to the web application. The vendor has stated they do not intend to release a fix, as they consider the likelihood of exploitation to be very low.
