I&#8217;ll be posting about the new long awaited version in the near future. It&#8217;ll take me some time to see what the differences so stay tuned!<\/p>\n<p><em>I haven&#8217;t posted in a long time and mainly because Zen Cart is so stable and there&#8217;s rarely news anymore.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>But this one is a biggie.<\/strong> I don&#8217;t know of any carts being actually hacked but it is a script injection which could be a takeover for a site at some point. My experience says it probably won&#8217;t happen immediately. Scripts like that are sneaky and lie low for some time. I\u00a0 did see it happen in one cart immediately after the announcement yesterday, so don&#8217;t delay putting this fix in place.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, I&#8217;ve already patched my maintenance customers &#8211; I&#8217;m still taking maintenance customers so something to consider. The monthly fees depend on who you use for hosting. If you use GoDaddy, I will not take you on.<\/p>\n<p>The fix for both versions is not difficult &#8211; if you use FTP and can figure out where to put the files and run the sql file, then you are golden.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The files and instructions are here:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zen-cart.com\/showthread.php?230032-Security-patch-for-Zen-Cart-v1-5-7-series-and-v1-5-8-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.zen-cart.com\/showthread.php?230032-Security-patch-for-Zen-Cart-v1-5-7-series-and-v1-5-8-series<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you don&#8217;t want to attempt it, I&#8217;ll be glad to do it for you for only $50.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wiztech4zc.com\/hosting\/index.php?rp=\/store\/services\/security-patch-april-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/wiztech4zc.com\/hosting\/index.php?rp=\/store\/services\/security-patch-2024<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I will need your zen cart login and ftp access to do this so be prepared to give those details when you pay.<\/p>\n<p>And a teaser. I&#8217;m working on a new version of my Ready-To-Go template that will incorporate more jQuery features that will give Zen Cart a more &#8220;modern&#8221; i.e. shopified, look.
