X-Cart contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The problem is that the 'general.php' script does not validate user-supplied input to the "perl_binary" variable. With a specially crafted URL request a remote attacker could execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the Web server resulting in a loss of integrity.
