JoomLine has released Content Cart 4.0.0, a major update to its Joomla shopping-cart plugin that addresses CSRF and price-manipulation vulnerabilities while adding performance and configuration changes. The release is compatible with…
According to the release announcement, the update strengthens validation and data protection alongside the security fixes. The developer describes the corrected issues as critical, but the announcement does not provide CVE identifiers or technical details about the affected code paths.
Performance work in version 4.0.0 covers caching, event handling and resource loading. JoomLine claims these changes can make sites 50–70% faster. That figure is a vendor-reported estimate; the announcement does not specify the testing conditions or workload used to measure it.
The update also adds configurable time-to-live (TTL) settings for the cart and improves the options available in the module. JavaScript messages now support multiple languages, extending the plugin’s internationalisation beyond its previous implementation.
Content Cart 4.0.0 is listed for Joomla 5 and Joomla 6. Further release information and the download are provided on the JoomLine Content Cart page.
