Maybe someone should fork Opencart and patch the security vulnerabilities and try to drive people away from this guy's repo, since he's just combative anytime someone raises a concern.
Or quit using his code altogether.
Given a rant like this I wouldn't be trusting his code. Admin access to a backend and ability to write to the underlying filesystem+configs are two different layers. Yeah in many cases they may be the same admin, but not necessarily. It also means a compromised admin UI user can modify the underlying system to hide their tracks.
It's like saying it's ok to have a hypervisor breakout because it requires you to have root in the underlying VM to exploit and only trusted admins have root...
