Username enumeration and group bypass via LDAP injection
Published Apr 9, 2026 · Updated Apr 9, 2026
LDAP injection in OPNsense core before 26.1.6 allows remote attackers to enumerate LDAP usernames through the WebGUI login form. The LDAP searchUsers() method interpolates the posted username into its filter without ldap_escape(), so metacharacters alter the query. LDAP-backed authentication must be enabled; an Extended Query group restriction can also be bypassed when attackers know a directory user's password.
