Authentication bypass via unescaped LDAP session filter
Published Jun 11, 2024 · Updated Jun 26, 2026
LDAP injection in Dogtag PKI and pki-core allows remote attackers to bypass token authentication and assume an existing LDAP session. LDAPSecurityDomainSessionTable.sessionExists() and getStringValue() concatenate the sessionID parameter into an LDAP cn filter without escaping, so sessionID=* matches a saved session. No prior privileges or user interaction are required, but access is limited to an adjacent network and exploitation depends on an existing LDAP session.
