CVE-2026-126777: Traccar authentication bypass in LDAP empty password handling

CVE-2026-126777 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.4 · Published 2026-11-11

Traccar is a GPS tracking platform that uses LDAP for user authentication. When LDAP authentication is enabled, a vulnerability allows attackers to log in as any user, including administrators, by submitting an empty password if the LDAP directory permits unauthenticated binds. An attacker who knows a valid username can hijack accounts without knowing the password.

Technologies: Traccar. Vendors: Traccar.

Technical details

The LdapProvider.login() method fails to reject empty passwords before performing LDAP bind operations. When a blank password is provided, the LDAP client performs an unauthenticated bind, which many LDAP servers permit by default. This allows any user with a known username to bypass authentication by sending POST requests to /api/session or using HTTP Basic authentication with an empty password, gaining full session access including admin privileges.
