CAPEC
LDAP Injection
mitre_capec
[HIGH] LDAP Injection
CAPEC-136: LDAP Injection
An attacker manipulates or crafts an LDAP query for the purpose of undermining the security of the target. Some applications use user input to create LDAP queries that are processed by an LDAP server. For example, a user might provide their username during authentication and the username might be inserted in an LDAP query during the authentication process. An attacker could use this input to inject additional commands into an LDAP query that could disclose sensitive information. For example, entering a * in the aforementioned query might return information about all users on the system. This attack is very similar to an SQL injection attack in that it manipulates a query to gather additional information or coerce a particular return value.
Execution Flow:
Step 1
CWE
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an LDAP Query ('LDAP Injection')
mitre_cwe
CWE-90 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an LDAP Query ('LDAP Injection')
CWE-90: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an LDAP Query ('LDAP Injection')
The product constructs all or part of an LDAP query using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended LDAP query when it is sent to a downstream component.
Modes of Introduction:
Phase: Implementation
Note: REALIZATION: This weakness is caused during implementation of an architectural security tactic.
Common Consequences:
Scope: Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability. Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands, Read Application Data, Modify Application Data. An attacker could include input that changes the LDAP query which allows unintended commands or code to be executed, allow
