NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sql-ledger package and not the sql-ledger package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

SQL-Ledger 2.4.4 through 2.6.17 authenticates users by verifying that the value of the sql-ledger-[username] cookie matches the value of the sessionid parameter, which allows remote attackers to gain access as any logged-in user by setting the cookie and the parameter to the same value.
