CVE-2026-11770 Details
Description
A flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. An unauthenticated remote attacker can inject LDAP search filters into the CleanAllRUV replication status-check extended operation. Because the handler performs the search against cn=config with elevated replication plugin privileges and returns a boolean match result, the attacker can extract sensitive server configuration metadata, including replication bind DNs and password storage scheme information.
A vulnerability exists in 389 Directory Server that allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject LDAP search filters into the CleanAllRUV replication status-check extended operation. This injection is possible because the operation is performed with elevated privileges on the server's configuration, cn=config. As a result, the attacker can extract sensitive metadata about the server's configuration, including details about replication bind DNs and password storage schemes. This vulnerability is particularly concerning in Red Hat products where anonymous access is allowed by default.
To address this vulnerability, set the nsslapd-allow-anonymous-access directive to rootdse or disable it entirely. Additionally, restrict access to LDAP ports to trusted networks, monitor for the extended operation OID 2.16.840.1.113730.3.6.8, and use strong passwords for the replication manager.
