Request input is placed into an LDAP search filter without escaping. Characters such as *, ( and ) let an attacker rewrite the filter (LDAP injection).

Category: SECURITY · Engine rule severity: WARNING

How to fix it

Escape filter values per RFC 4515 (\2a, \28, \29, \5c, \00) before building the filter, and validate user names against an allow-list pattern.
