What it is
Input is pasted into a directory query, letting an attacker change what it returns.
How it is reached
The record does not say yet how the flaw is reached; the description below is the best guide until it is scored.
What an attacker gains
Its impact has not been scored yet. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker read or change records in the data store behind the application.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade Apache TomEE to a fixed version for your release line (10.0.0-M1, 10.3.0, 11.0.0-M2).
Description from NVD
The Jakarta Security LDAP identity store does not neutralize special characters in the caller name before using it in directory queries. A remote unauthenticated attacker can alter the queries to enumerate accounts, infer directory attribute values, or influence which directory entry the login is validated against. Only applications using the LDAP identity store are affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 10.3.0 or 11.0.0-M2, which fix the issue.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Services that build database or directory queries. The flaw sits between the application and its data store.
- Databases. The flaw sits between the application and its data store.
Trust boundaries in play
- Between the application and its data store. An attacker who crosses it can read or change records in the data store behind the application.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does Apache TomEE run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances are reachable by people you do not trust?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
