Nope. There is a built in credit card method that would utilise the Magento crypt() but you cannot actually hook this up to a bank and get any actual money. The lamest of lamest Magento developers will use an off the shelf payment gateway that will use things like iframes so that even a non https Magento site will not have any credit card information pass through Magento, instead you get payment references.
In theory you could break the crypto and get into Magento admin, to then export out customer email and address details. You could probably refund all customers orders but not get fresh money out of them.
I appreciate the code may be 2008 vintage but there is no new vulnerability here that gives any means to access any Magento credit card data in a meaningful way, e.g. a lucrative way.
