An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-8028 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.springframework.ldap:spring-ldap-core (Maven): affected from 1.3.0; fixed in 2.3.2\n- org.springframework.ldap:spring-ldap-core (Maven): affected from 1.3.0; fixed in 2.3.2\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8028/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8028/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8028","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8028/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8028","record":{"aliases":["DLA-1180-1","DSA-4046-1","GHSA-pjqh-2jcc-5j84","MGASA-2018-0235","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-8028"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Spring LDAP library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication with arbitrary passwords if specific LDAP configurations are used, allowing unauthorized access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"spring-ldap","vendor":"pivotal_software"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"In Pivotal Spring-LDAP versions 1.3.0 - 2.3.1, when connected to some LDAP servers, when no additional attributes are bound, and when using LDAP BindAuthenticator with org.springframework.ldap.core.support.DefaultTlsDirContextAuthenticationStrategy as the authentication strategy, and setting userSearch, authentication is allowed with an arbitrary password when the username is correct.
