Cybersecurity researchers on Tuesday disclosed nine security vulnerabilities affecting three open-source projects - EspoCRM, Pimcore, and Akaunting - that are widely used by several small to medium businesses and, if successfully exploited, could provide a pathway to more sophisticated attacks.

Akaunting, on the other hand, is an open-source and online accounting software designed for invoice and expense tracking.
