Access Restriction Bypass in go-ldap
CVE-2017-14623 · GHSA-x27w-qxhg-343v
- Affected
- Go github.com/go-ldap/ldap < 2.5.0
- Fixed in
- 2.5.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- In the ldap.v2 (aka go-ldap) package through 2.5.0 for Go, an attacker may be able to login with an empty password. This issue affects an application using this package if these conditions are met: (1) it relies only on the return error of the Bind function call to determine whether a user is authorized (i.e., a nil return value is interpreted as successful authorization) and (2) it is used with an LDAP server allowing unauthenticated bind.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.5.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
