CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA vulnerability exists in Oracle's implementation of Red Hat Quay's LDAP authentication, where improper handling of LDAP referrals allows attackers to inject filter metacharacters into username inputs. This flaw can lead to user-existence oracle attacks and may affect password binding in multi-domain Active Directory setups. Organizations utilizing Red Hat Quay with LDAP authentication should prioritize addressing this issue to mitigate potential security risks.
Original NVD Description
A flaw was found in Red Hat Quay's external Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication handling. When an LDAP referral is returned during authentication, the system does not properly escape the username input. This allows an attacker to inject LDAP filter metacharacters, enabling user-existence oracle attacks at the referral Directory Name (DN). This could also potentially influence which DN is used for password binding in multi-domain Active Directory environments.
