MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions are required for exploitation based on the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N - this is a remote unauthenticated attack against network-accessible Liderahenk instances running versions 3.4.0 through 3.5.4. Exploitation is limited to environments where the Liderahenk management interface is reachable over the network; deployments isolated behind strict network perimeters or VPNs reduce exposure to trusted-network attackers only. Exploitation produces confidentiality impact only - an attacker cannot modify directory data or disrupt service via this vector alone. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N scores 7.5 (High), reflecting a remotely exploitable, unauthenticated flaw with no user interaction and high confidentiality impact, but no integrity or availability degradation. This signal alone places it in a realistic exploitation tier: network reachable, no authentication barrier, and low attack complexity together mean any internet-connected deployment is vulnerable to automated probing. No EPSS probability was supplied, and this product is absent from the CISA KEV catalog, so active exploitation is not confirmed. No public POC has been reported. The confidentiality-only impact (I:N, A:N) limits blast radius compared to RCE-class flaws, but LDAP directory exfiltration in government or institutional environments carries significant secondary risk - exposed credentials, organizational structure, and account enumerations can fuel subsequent phishing or credential-stuffing campaigns. The TR-CERT advisory origin is consistent with a domestic government-sector disclosure pipeline rather than broad commercial researcher activity. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends an HTTP request to a Liderahenk management endpoint that accepts a username or search parameter, injecting LDAP metacharacters such as '*)(&' to modify the filter logic. The manipulated query causes the directory server to return all user entries rather than the intended single match, leaking account names, email addresses, or hashed credentials from the organizational LDAP tree. No prior authentication or user interaction is required, and the low complexity means this can be automated via simple scripted enumeration. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 26, 2026
LDAP Injection in Liderahenk, TÜBİTAK BİLGEM's centralized Linux management platform, enables unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate LDAP queries and extract sensitive directory data - including user accounts, credentials, and organizational attributes - from the underlying directory service. Affected versions span 3.4.0 through 3.5.4. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at the time of analysis, though the low-complexity unauthenticated attack vector makes this accessible to a wide range of threat actors targeting Turkish public sector infrastructure.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Liderahenk to version 3.5.5 or later, which is indicated as the fixed release by the version boundary stated in the CVE description (before 3.5.5). Consult the TR-CERT advisory at https://siberguvenlik.gov.tr/guvenlik-bildirimleri/detay/tr-26-0916 for vendor-confirmed patch details. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict network access to Liderahenk management interfaces using firewall rules so only trusted administrative networks can reach LDAP-facing endpoints - this reduces the attack surface from internet-wide to internal-only. Additionally, enable LDAP query logging at the directory server layer (e.g., slapd access logs) to detect anomalous filter patterns indicative of injection attempts. Note that firewall restriction does not eliminate the vulnerability for insider threats or compromised internal hosts.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-90 (LDAP Injection) arises when user-controlled input is concatenated into LDAP search filters or distinguished name strings without escaping special characters such as parentheses, asterisks, backslashes, and null bytes. Liderahenk is an open-source centralized management system developed by TÜBİTAK BİLGEM (Turkey's Scientific and Technological Research Council, Information Technologies Institute) for managing Pardus Linux deployments in Turkish government and institutional environments. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:tübi̇tak_bi̇lgem_software_technologies_research_institute:liderahenk:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the vendor and product scope. LDAP is used in Liderahenk for authentication and policy-based user/device directory lookups; unsanitized input reaching these query construction points allows filter manipulation to bypass intended access restrictions and enumerate directory contents.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an LDAP Query ('LDAP Injection') vulnerability in TÜBİTAK BİLGEM Software Technologies Research Institute Liderahenk allows LDAP Injection.
This issue affects Liderahenk: from 3.4.0 before 3.5.5.
Executive ViewAI
Liderahenk, the centralized management platform for Linux systems across Turkish public sector organizations, contains an unauthenticated LDAP injection vulnerability in versions 3.4.0-3.5.4 that enables remote extraction of sensitive directory information including user credentials and organizational data. This flaw directly threatens identity and access management across all connected government infrastructure.
Enforce strict input validation and parameterized LDAP queries; restrict LDAP endpoints to trusted networks via network segmentation; deploy Web Application Firewall rules blocking LDAP injection syntax; implement comprehensive audit logging for all directory service queries; consider deploying a protective proxy layer that sanitizes and validates LDAP requests before reaching Liderahenk.
