Technical details

LDAP injection vulnerability in directory queries allows a remote authenticated attacker to modify LDAP queries by injecting malicious input, bypassing tenant isolation and escalating privileges to administrative level. The vulnerability exists in versions 10.0.8.0–10.0.8.12 and 12.1.0.0–12.1.1.2. User-supplied input used in directory queries is not properly sanitized, allowing an authenticated user to escape the query context and access resources beyond their authorization scope.
