## Description

LedgerSMB is a free web-based double-entry accounting system. When aLedgerSMB database administrator has an active session in /setup.pl, anattacker can trick the admin into clicking on a link which automaticallysubmits a request to setup.pl without the admin's consent.  This requestcan be used to create a new user account with full application (/login.pl)privileges, leading to privilege escalation.  The vulnerability is patchedin versions 1.10.30 and 1.11.9.
