{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2024-23831","details":"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.  The vulnerability is patched in versions 1.10.30 and 1.11.9.","modified":"2026-02-04T04:18:52.649448Z","published":"2024-02-02T16:15:00Z","related":["USN-7647-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2024-23831"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-23831"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/security/advisories/GHSA-98ff-f638-qxjm"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/commit/8c2ae5be68a782d62cb9c0e17c0127bf30ef4165"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-23831"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-7647-1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"ledgersmb","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ledgersmb@1.6.9+ds-1ubuntu0.1+esm1?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.6.9+ds-1ubuntu0.1+esm1"}]}],"versions":["1.6.9+ds-1","1.6.9+ds-1ubuntu0.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"Available with Ubuntu Pro: https://ubuntu.com/pro","binaries":[{"binary_name":"ledgersmb","binary_version":"1.6.9+ds-1ubuntu0.1+esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-23831.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ledgersmb","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ledgersmb@1.6.33+ds-1ubuntu0.1?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.6.33+ds-1ubuntu0.1"}]}],"versions":["1.6.9+ds-2.1","1.6.33+ds-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_name":"ledgersmb","binary_version":"1.6.33+ds-1ubuntu0.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-23831.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ledgersmb","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ledgersmb@1.6.33+ds-2.1ubuntu0.1?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.6.33+ds-2.1ubuntu0.1"}]}],"versions":["1.6.33+ds-2.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_name":"ledgersmb","binary_version":"1.6.33+ds-2.1ubuntu0.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-23831.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
