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 adup...@linagora.com and then on amar...@linagora.com, he can test on a*. Then if a password matches, he can quickly get to the user by dichotomy (aa*, ab*, aba*, abb*, etc.). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: server-dev-unsubscr...@james.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: server-dev-h...@james.apache.org
