Submitted by ehu on

  Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute

Summary

  LedgerSMB does not set the 'Secure' attribute on the session authorization
  cookie when the client uses HTTPS and the LedgerSMB server is behind a
  reverse proxy.  By tricking a user to use an unencrypted connection (HTTP),
  an attacker may be able to obtain the authentication data by capturing
  network traffic.

Upgrade to LedgerSMB 1.9

Submitted by ehu on

Overview

Company database upgrades are supported all the way back from 1.4 directly to 1.9, using the 1.9 software. Company database upgrades from 1.3 and 1.2 are also supported, but due to the different nature of the upgrade process are called "migrations". The important difference being that when doing a migration, a copy of the data is being created in the 1.9 structure, while upgrades adjust the existing structure for 1.9.
