Code injection in Zen Cart Administrative Module Management

A vulnerability was determined in Zen Cart up to 2.2.2. Affected is the function zen_call_function of the file admin/includes/functions/general.php of the component Administrative Module Management. Executing a manipulation of the argument use_function can lead to code injection. The attack can be launched remotely. Attacks of this nature are highly complex. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The vendor explains: "We don't consider this an independently exploitable vulnerability. The only path to controlling `use_function`/`configuration_value` in the `configuration` table is the SQL Patch tool (raw arbitrary SQL execution) or a pre-existing SQL injection elsewhere".
