CVE-2025-6081Public exploitNetwork attack vector

LDAP credential theft via retained password transmission

Published Jul 1, 2025 · Updated Jul 2, 2025

LDAP credential exposure in Konica Minolta bizhub 227 firmware GCQ-Y3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to capture a service password. The administrator LDAP page accepts a replacement server address without clearing the stored password, and Check Connection sends that password in plaintext to the replacement server. Administrator access and a preconfigured LDAP service are required; successful exploitation discloses the stored LDAP credentials.
