We released a fixed version, debian packages not updated yet. But I would be happy to merge a patch.
I agree we should probably make that move but the best immediate fix is to add to the main request handlers. The emergency fix (poorly thought out) can be seen at: https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/commit/83bdaf38ef03add07f8dd6348eb01c5dbdca94e7 https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/commit/cbcb220d24e2260b3e29db2be04634c62f8a3ea6 These are in the current 1.4 version. They are not recommended because use lib '.' is pretty dangerous. We aren't vulnerable in any use cases I know of but that does not mean people are not doing crazy things. The following replaces those with a safer version: https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/pull/1912.patch use FindBin; use lib $FindBin::$Bin .
