News on e-commerce, shop modules & modified eCommerce Shopsoftware

Operators of modified eCommerce shops should urgently check that their PHP version and shop are up to date.

Critical PHP vulnerabilities known as PHP2Shell have recently come to light which, under certain conditions, may allow remote code execution without prior authentication. In the worst case, an attacker could execute their own code on the web server and completely compromise a shop.

The name PHP2Shell refers to two critical vulnerabilities in the PHP core: CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619. They affect the PHP runtime environment used by numerous websites and online shops, rather than just a single shop application or extension.

According to the PHP project, the vulnerabilities may allow unauthenticated remote code execution. Affected systems include PHP installations that process web requests, including PHP-FPM, Apache with mod_php, php-cgi, FrankenPHP and LiteSpeed. In certain configurations, an attack can begin before the shop's actual application code is executed.

A particular concern is that exploitation does

Many operators of modified eCommerce Shopsoftware shops sooner or later face the same questions: how can dealers be registered properly? How can a VAT identification number be validated reliably? And how can incorrect tax calculations be prevented when a guest customer from another EU country places an order with a valid VAT ID?

This is exactly where the two modules MITS Dealer Registration and MITS VAT Validation Extended from MerZ IT-SerVice come in. The modules address different tasks but are deliberately designed to work together, combining into a powerful B2B solution for modified eCommerce Shopsoftware.

Guest orders are a particularly important issue. In many shops, business customers can place o

Withdrawal button required from 19.06.2026 – what shop operators should know now

From 19.06.2026, an electronic withdrawal function will become mandatory for many online shops. For shop operators, this means that withdrawal must be possible directly online, easily accessible and properly integrated into the shop. Anyone running modified eCommerce Shopsoftware should therefore start considering a practical implementation early.

This is exactly where MITS Withdrawal Button Pro comes in: the module adds a structured digital withdrawal process to modified eCommerce Shopsoftware, with convenient frontend use, clear internal processing and flexible configuration options for everyday shop operations.

Many shop operators are already familiar with the legally required order button at checkout. The new withdrawal button follows a similar principle: when a contract is concluded online, consumers should also be able to declare their withdrawal directly online.

In practice, this involves more than a single button: it re

The modified eCommerce community has released **version 3.3.0 Rev 16825**. In addition to important system maintenance and security fixes (including CSRF protection and PHPMailer), the new major release brings practical new order management functions in the admin area, plus performance and hook optimisations for developers. Find all the details of the new features here and learn why this update is recommended for your shop.

Version 3.3.0 expands the functionality of the admin area and simplifies daily order processing:

• Customs tariff data in orders: Customs tariff data can now be entered and maintained directly when editing orders.
• Extended order search: Orders can now also be searched for specifically by customer number.
• Duplicate check: When creating or editing in orders_edit.php, the system now checks for existing orders.
• Controlled recalculation: Recalculation of an order during admin editing now takes place only when the corresponding checkbox is explicitly selected.

The modified eCommerce community has released another maintenance update. Version 3.2.1 rev 16766 focuses on fine adjustments to the system, resolves display inconsistencies and improves the internal update process. Find all the details of the corrections in this version here.

Although this is a smaller release, it brings greater stability and smoother operation in both the backend and frontend:

• Product display corrected: An inconsistency in the number of products displayed on the new products page (products_new.php) has been fixed (`#2221`).
• Safer autoupdates: Optimisations to the way .htaccess changes are carried out during automatic updates ensure a more stable update process (`#2856`).
• Revised installer: The installation and upgrade wizard has been further refined to make future system updates even more reliable.
• System maintenance & stability: Numerous PHP warnings have been eliminated and general bug fixes implemented to keep the shop code clean.

The modified eCommerce community has released its next major feature and stability update. Version 3.2.0 Rev 16725 brings extensive modernisation, key API updates (including DHL, CleverReach and PayPal) and valuable administration tools. Find all the details in the changelog here and learn why this update is crucial to the future readiness and performance of your online shop.

Please note: Since shop version 3.0.0 rev 15588, PHP 8.0 or later has been required. The new release also introduces support for PHP 8.4, ensuring strong future compatibility and performance on modern server architectures.

A central focus of version 3.2.0 is migrating and updating essential partner interfaces to modern REST APIs and current standards:

• DHL module: The old GKV SOAP API v1 has been replaced on schedule, and the module has been completely migrated to the modern REST API. A problem with the Closest Droppoint has also been fixed (`#3018`).

The modified eCommerce community has released its next stability and bug fix update. Version 3.1.6 Rev 16563 fixes a number of critical bugs, optimises the integration of key modules such as PayPal and Afterbuy, and improves the admin interface. Find all the details in the changelog here and learn why this update matters for the stability of your online shop.

This update primarily focuses on restoring the stability and accuracy of the shop's core functions. In particular, errors in order processing and price calculation that could lead to inaccuracies have been corrected. A stable foundation is essential for high customer satisfaction and low checkout abandonment rates.

• Shipping logic: A critical bug (`#3031`) has been fixed in which the shipping zone was not correctly taken into account when changing the shipping method. This ensures correct price calculation for different destination area

The rapid development of artificial intelligence has revolutionised many industries, particularly software development. AI tools capable of generating blocks of code or entire functions are hailed by developers worldwide as efficiency boosters. Yet this apparent convenience conceals significant risks that companies and developers often underestimate. Experts warn against adopting AI-generated code uncritically, as this can cause serious security vulnerabilities and unexpected problems. 

The main problem with AI-generated code is its fundamental lack of contextual understanding. An AI is trained on vast amounts of data from public repositories, forums and tutorials. It learns patterns and writes code that appears statistically "correct". What it does not understand, however, is the specific requirements of a project:

• Security requirements: an AI cannot distinguish between secure and insecure coding practices unless it has been explicitly trained to do so. It knows neither a company's individual security policies nor the specific threats an application faces. This can unintentionally introduce vulne

Updating to this latest version is therefore strongly recommended so you can benefit from all the new features and optimisations.

An extract from the changelog shows how many areas of the shop system have been optimised:

• Bug fixes: Several important bugs have been fixed, including problems with incorrect sitemaps in multilingual shops, incorrect shipping costs when redeeming discount coupons and inaccuracies in the VAT display in the footer of the tpl_modified_nova template. These corrections ensure that your shop functions smoothly and accurately.
• Security and compatibility updates: The version includes updates for the CAO interface, DHL and the popular PayPal module to ensure compatibility and security. The installer has also been revised, making

A serious security vulnerability in customer registration allows attackers to inject malicious code and take over the shop. This vulnerability is already being exploited in shops. As a member of the modified eCommerce Shopsoftware team, we immediately provided an appropriate patch.

In addition to this official patch, we have created a larger security package that closes other potential vulnerabilities that have not yet been exploited. We recommend that operators of the shop systems mentioned install this security package. You can commission us directly to install it. Simply email us or call us directly.

You can now also purchase a small selection of standard services, templates and module integrations directly online in our store. This saves lengthy email exchanges or telephone calls. However, if you cannot find something in our store, that does not mean MerZ IT-SerVice does not offer it. We specialise in custom programming for your project, and for over 10 years countless customers have relied on our flexibility and problem-solving approach
