openam-core is vulnerable to LDAP Injection
86
High Risk
This Affects:
openam-coreTL;DR
The certificate authentication module builds LDAP search filters from certificate Subject DN attribute values by direct string concatenation without escaping in AMCertStore.setSearchFilter. A client certificate whose Subject DN contains LDAP filter metacharacters injects into the search filter. Injection can match arbitrary directory entries to bypass authentication, enumerate the directory, or trigger expensive wildcard queries. The fix builds the filter with safe RFC 4515-escaped values.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you enable certificate authentication.
Background info

How to fix this
Upgrade the org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-core library to the patch version.
