OpenCart is an open source e-commerce web application that was launched on February 3, 2009.[4] It was developed by Daniel Kerr (now OpenCart Ltd) along with co-developer 'Qphoria'.[5]

OpenCart is designed for the small to medium-sized online merchant.[6]

One example web store running on OpenCart is the British Red Cross online gift shop.[7]

History

[edit]

Daniel Kerr, founder of OpenCart, formerly used osCommerce. He wrote OpenCart between 2005 and 2009 after the next major osCommerce release was delayed.[8] On December 18, 2006, the first public beta version was released.[9]

Usage

[edit]

OpenCart has been adopted by over 184,000 online retailers[10]; mainly smaller e-commerce websites, although divisions of some larger organizations such as the British Red Cross also use it.[11]

Publicised vulnerabilities

[edit]

In January 2010 a CSRF exploit for OpenCart 1.4.x allowing a malicious page to create an admin user was made public.[12][13] This class of vulnerability was still present in OpenCart 1.5.5.1 (released Jan 2013).[14]
