Discussion

Merchant Order Form 1.2 Order Log Permissions Vulnerability

Merchant Order Form is a shareware shopping cart program. Poor installations leave the order log file world readable, allowing retrieval of sensitive information such as customer order history and credit card information. This is more of a configuration issue than a vulnerability in the software, although leaving credit card information in plain text and allowing it to reside in a world readable directory is a poor practice.

Exploit / POC

The exposed log file is named order_log_v12.dat (also order_log.dat) an can be retrieved by HTTP once the directory it resides in is determined. This is typically "order", "orders", or something similar.
