Exploitation Conditions

DataHub LDAP ingestion source enabled with versions prior to 1.3.1.8. Attacker must be network-positioned between DataHub and LDAP server (man-in-the-middle capable). TLS downgrade vulnerability allows forcing unencrypted LDAP communication without certificate validation.

Impact

CVSS 7.5 (HIGH). Attack vector: Network. Complexity: Low. Privileges required: None. User interaction: None.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

DataHub versions prior to 1.3.1.8 are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks during LDAP authentication due to insufficient TLS certificate validation, allowing attackers on the network to intercept and eavesdrop on sensitive authentication credentials. An unauthenticated attacker can downgrade the TLS connection to capture plaintext LDAP credentials without requiring user interaction. No patch is currently available for affected deployments.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

DataHub is an open-source metadata platform. Prior to version 1.3.1.8, the LDAP ingestion source is vulnerable to MITM attack through TLS downgrade. This issue has been patched in version 1.3.1.8.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

DataHub instances using LDAP authentication are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks that could allow attackers to intercept credentials and compromise identity systems. Organizations relying on DataHub for metadata management with LDAP integration require immediate mitigation until a patch becomes available.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Disable LDAP ingestion source if not operationally critical; enforce TLS 1.2 minimum with cipher suite restrictions at network and firewall level; implement mutual TLS (mTLS) between DataHub and LDAP servers; restrict DataHub-to-LDAP communication through network segmentation and WAF rules blocking downgrade attempts; monitor and log all LDAP authentication traffic for anomalies; consider deploying an authentication proxy that enforces secure TLS versions.
