Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions LedgerSMB versions prior to 1.10.30 LedgerSMB versions prior to 1.11.9

Description LedgerSMB is a free web-based double-entry accounting system. When a LedgerSMB database administrator has an active session in "/setup.pl", an attacker can trick the admin into clicking on a link which automatically submits a request to "/setup.pl" without the admin's consent. This request can be used to create a new user account with full application ("/login.pl") privileges, leading to privilege escalation.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.10.30, update to version 1.10.30 or later. For versions prior to 1.11.9, update to version 1.11.9 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "/setup.pl" endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation.
