Folks,

After a month or two of reading, I am still without a shopping cart. I am not necessarily looking for a free one, but can't spend more than 200-300 USD. My question is this: forget features and looks, which is most secure? Or if you know one is not secure, please mention.

The ones I am looking at:
php:
cubecart
cs-cart
zen-cart
x-cart/litecommerce
creloaded

perl:
clickcartpro

Please suggest others not mentioned above, if you know them to have a good history as far as security.

Thanks,
Learner

The quick answer? None.

Security for any shopping cart can be defeated. Sure, some will be defeated easier then others... but nothing is 100% secure. What you could do is take the names you have now and do a search on http://www.packetstormsecurity.org or http://www.securityfocus.com and see how many advisories were reported.
