Official Description
Open Solution Quick.Cart 5.0 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via (1) a long string or (2) invalid characters in a cookie, which reveals the installation path in an error message.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2012-6049 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
