CVE-2018-9246: Ledgersmb

Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 2.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The PGObject::Util::DBAdmin module before 0.120.0 for Perl, as used in LedgerSMB through 1.5.x, insufficiently sanitizes or escapes variable values used as part of shell command execution, resulting in shell code injection via the create(), run_file(), backup(), or restore() function. The vulnerability allows unauthorized users to execute code with the same privileges as the running application.

Affected products

• Ledgersmb Ledgersmb: from 1.5.0, up to and including 1.5.21
• Pgobject-Util-Dbadmin Project Pgobject-Util-Dbadmin: before 0.120.0 (fixed in 0.120.0)
