Apache Shiro: LDAP DN Injection in DefaultLdapRealm

Quick fix

GHSA-x96m-rh44-vgv8 — org.apache.shiro:shiro-core: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

# pom.xml: bump <version>2.2.1</version> for org.apache.shiro:shiro-core

Details

A remote attacker can inject LDAP special characters into the Distinguished Name (DN) construction in DefaultLdapRealm class. User-supplied username input is directly concatenated into the LDAP DN template without any escaping of RFC 2253 special characters. This allows an attacker to manipulate the DN structure used for LDAP bind authentication, potentially bypassing authentication or impersonating other users.

This issue affects all Apache Shiro versions through 2.2.0, and 3.0.0-alpha-1 when using DefaultLdapRealm Upgrade to Apache Shiro 2.2.1 or 3.0.0-alpha-2 or later, which fixes the issue.
