CVE-2026-73644
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
OpenDJ is an LDAPv3 compliant directory service. Prior to 5.1.2, the SASL PLAIN authorization identity path in opendj-server-legacy/src/main/java/org/opends/server/extensions/PlainSASLMechanismHandler.java checked the PROXIED_AUTH privilege but did not evaluate the mayProxy proxy ACI scope when an authzid resolved to a different user. Both dn: and u: or bare authzid forms could therefore let an authenticated account holding PROXIED_AUTH assume any resolvable non-root identity outside the identities permitted by its proxy ACI. The fix returns INVALID_CREDENTIALS (49) before password verification when the target authorization identity is not permitted. This issue is fixed in version 5.1.2.

"value": "OpenDJ es un servicio de directorio compatible con LDAPv3. Antes de la versión 5.1.2, la ruta de identidad de autorización SASL PLAIN en opendj-server-legacy/src/main/java/org/opends/server/extensions/PlainSASLMechanismHandler.java verificaba el privilegio PROXIED_AUTH pero no evaluaba el alcance ACI de proxy mayProxy cuando un authzid se resolvía a un usuario diferente. Tanto las formas dn: y u: como las formas de authzid sin prefijo podían, por lo tanto, permitir que una cuenta autenticada que poseía PROXIED_AUTH asumiera cualquier identidad no-root resoluble fuera de las identidades permitidas por su ACI de proxy. La corrección devuelve INVALID_CREDENTIALS (49) antes de la verificación de la contraseña cuando la identidad de autorización de destino no está permitida. Este problema está corregido en la versión 5.1.2."
