CVE-2022-30153Network attack vector

Remote code execution in LDAP client context

Published Jun 15, 2022 · Updated Jan 2, 2025

Remote code execution in Microsoft Windows LDAP allows remote attackers to execute code by persuading a user to connect to a malicious LDAP server. Microsoft has not disclosed the LDAP client function, memory operation, or malformed server response responsible for code execution. Exploitation requires an authenticated, network-connected victim to initiate the LDAP connection, and resulting code runs in that user's client context.
