CVE-2024-53412
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedCommand injection in the connect function in NietThijmen ShoppingCart 0.0.2 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands and achieve remote code execution via injection of malicious payloads into the Port field
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceCommand injection vulnerability in the connect function of NietThijmen ShoppingCart version 0.0.2 allows attackers to inject malicious payloads into the Port field, which are then executed as shell commands, enabling arbitrary code execution.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify ShoppingCart installation and versionSearch for NietThijmen ShoppingCart files in the environment. Check for package.json, composer.json, or any project files that contain 'ShoppingCart' and examine the version number. If found, verify the version is 0.0.2.Affected if The software is installed and the version is 0.0.2 specifically.
-
Locate the connect functionSearch the codebase for the function definition 'function connect' or 'def connect' or similar. Identify the file containing this function - this is likely in a payment or network-related module.Affected if A connect function exists in the ShoppingCart codebase.
-
Examine Port parameter handlingOpen the connect function file and inspect how the 'Port' parameter is processed. Look for any variable assignments involving 'Port' or 'port'.Affected if The Port parameter is received and used within the connect function.
-
Check for shell command execution with PortSearch within the connect function for system call functions such as system(), exec(), shell_exec(), passthru(), or similar that involve the Port variable. Use grep to search for patterns like 'system.*port' or 'exec.*port'.Affected if The Port variable is passed directly or indirectly to any shell execution function without sanitization.
-
Verify input validation is absent or inadequateInspect the code immediately before the shell execution to see if there is any validation on the Port parameter. Look for regex checks, type casting to integer, or allowlist validation. If none exists, the vulnerability is present.Affected if No input validation, sanitization, or type conversion is performed on the Port parameter before shell execution.
The environment is affected if NietThijmen ShoppingCart version 0.0.2 is installed AND the connect function passes the Port parameter to shell execution without proper validation.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement strict input validation on the Port field to allow only numeric characters, and refactor the connect function to avoid shell command execution entirely—use parameterized network APIs instead of system calls.
