Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N
No prior auth needed at login endpoint; filter injection enables auth bypass (I:L) and LDAP directory enumeration (C:L); availability unaffected.

LDAP filter injection in Apache Zeppelin's LdapRealm component allows remote attackers to manipulate LDAP search filter expressions by exploiting a wrong escaping scheme applied to user-supplied input during authentication. Versions 0.11.1, 0.11.2, and 0.12.0 incorrectly apply RFC 4514 distinguished-name escaping - which neutralizes DN metacharacters - instead of RFC 4515 filter-value escaping, leaving LDAP filter metacharacters such as parentheses, asterisks, and backslashes unsanitized in constructed search filters. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that Apache Zeppelin is explicitly configured to use LdapRealm as its authentication provider, which is the multi-user LDAP configuration described in Zeppelin's documentation and is not enabled in default single-user deployments. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | No CVSS vector or CWE identifier was formally assigned in the advisory submission, requiring independent assessment. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated remote attacker submits a crafted username such as 'admin*)(uid=*))(|(uid=*' to the Zeppelin login page backed by LdapRealm, injecting RFC 4515 filter metacharacters that survive the incorrect RFC 4514 escaping. The manipulated string alters the LDAP search filter sent to the directory server - for example turning a filter like '(uid=<input>)' into a tautology that matches all users - enabling authentication bypass without valid credentials. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Apache Zeppelin to version 0.12.1, which corrects the LdapRealm escaping logic to apply RFC 4515 filter-value encoding rather than RFC 4514 DN encoding. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all Apache Zeppelin deployments in versions 0.11.1, 0.11.2, and 0.12.0 and assess external network exposure; audit LDAP authentication configurations to determine attack surface. …
