If you cannot patch yet, restrict SA_GLANALYTIC permissions to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to the get_gl_transactions() function. Avoid using vulnerable versions of FrontAccounting in untrusted environments.
Description
FrontAccounting versions before 2.4.20 have a SQL injection vulnerability in the get_gl_transactions() function. The vulnerability arises because the filter_type parameter is directly concatenated into a SQL IN() clause without proper parameterization. Attackers with SA_GLANALYTIC permission can exploit this to perform boolean-based blind SQL injection, potentially extracting sensitive journal entry data.
