LOW 3.7

Description

If auth_username_chars is empty, it is possible to inject arbitrary LDAP filter to Dovecot's LDAP authentication. This leads to potentially bypassing restrictions and allows probing of LDAP structure. Do not clear out auth_username_chars, or install fixed version. No publicly available exploits are known.

Analysis

Open-Xchange Dovecot Pro contains an LDAP filter injection vulnerability in its authentication module that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary LDAP filters when the auth_username_chars configuration parameter is left empty, potentially enabling authentication bypass and reconnaissance of LDAP directory structures. The vulnerability carries a low CVSS score of 3.7 due to high attack complexity requirements, and no public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis.
