HTTP API reachable over the network without auth or interaction; single crafted header triggers reliably, so AC:L; impact is availability-only with no scope change.

An input handling flaw in the HTTP refresh token process of LLDAP v0.6.2 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via sending a crafted refresh-token header.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in LLDAP v0.6.2 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to disrupt the authentication service by sending a crafted refresh-token header to the HTTP refresh endpoint. The flaw is a CWE-400 resource handling defect with CVSS 7.5 (availability-only impact); no public exploit is identified, though a referenced gist may contain proof-of-concept material. EPSS is low at 0.18% (8th percentile) and the issue is not on CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
LLDAP (Light LDAP) is a lightweight, self-hosted user-management server that exposes both an LDAP interface and an HTTP/JSON API used by its web UI and integrating applications. Session continuity in the HTTP API is handled through a refresh-token mechanism, and this vulnerability lies in how that endpoint parses or validates incoming refresh-token headers. The CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) classification indicates the root cause is insufficient bounds, validation, or accounting on an attacker-controlled input - a malformed value causes the server to consume disproportionate CPU, memory, or thread resources rather than rejecting the request cheaply.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the provided references do not include a vendor advisory, release notes, or commit linking to a fixed version. Operators of LLDAP 0.6.2 should monitor the upstream nitnelave/lldap GitHub project for a release newer than 0.6.2 and upgrade once a fix is published, then verify against the NVD record at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-50889. In the interim, place the LLDAP HTTP API behind a reverse proxy that enforces strict header size limits and rate-limits the refresh-token endpoint (trade-off: legitimate bursty re-auth from many clients may be throttled), restrict network exposure of the HTTP port to trusted management networks or VPN only (trade-off: breaks any external integrations that depend on it), and ensure the LLDAP process runs under a supervisor that will auto-restart it after an availability event so outages are short. The third-party gist referenced in the input should be reviewed only in a controlled environment, as its contents are not vendor-vetted.
