----------------------------------------
Summary: Encode special characters in LDAP search filter to
prevent injections
Key: JAMES-2243
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-2243
Project: James Server
Issue Type: Bug
Components: data, ldap
Affects Versions: master
Reporter: Thibaut SAUTEREAU
The user-controlled "name" input is not sanitized when making LDAP searches
with searchAndBuildUser. This could lead to LDAP injections using special
characters.
Possible scenario: an attacker can bruteforce password authentication without
needing to target a specific user of test every user. For instance, instead of
needing to test 1 M passwords on [email protected] and then on
[email protected], he can test on a*. Then if a password matches, he can
quickly get to the user by dichotomy (aa*, ab*, aba*, abb*, etc.).
