CVE-2022-24832Network attack vector

Directory-data inference via unescaped LDAP usernames

Published Apr 11, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025

LDAP injection in GoCD 17.5.0 through 22.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to infer LDAP directory data through crafted usernames. The bundled ldap-authentication-plugin inserts the supplied username into an LDAP search filter without encoding LDAP special characters. Exploitation requires a working LDAP authorization configuration and an existing LDAP-authenticated account, and repeated queries can reveal usernames, alternate attributes, or password hashes.
