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-2024-38829 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.springframework.ldap:spring-ldap-core (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.4.4\n- org.springframework.ldap:spring-ldap-core (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.4.4\n- org.springframework.ldap:spring-ldap-core (Maven): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.2.8\n- org.springframework.ldap:spring-ldap-core (Maven): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.2.8\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-2024-38829/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38829/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38829","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38829/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38829","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2024-38829","ECHO-b115-b5ea-e973","GHSA-mqvr-2rp8-j7h4","ROOT-APP-MAVEN-CVE-2024-38829","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-38829"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Spring LDAP library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Locale-dependent string handling in Spring LDAP may expose sensitive data by querying unintended columns during case-sensitive comparisons.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":3.7,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-178","name":"Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity"}],"description":"A vulnerability in Spring LDAP allows data exposure for case sensitive comparisons.This issue affects Spring LDAP: from 2.4.0 through 2.4.3, from 3.0.0 through 3.0.9, from 3.1.0 through 3.1.7, from 3.2.0 through 3.2.7, AND all versions prior to 2.4.0.\n\nThe usage of String.toLowerCase() and String.toUpperCase() has some Locale dependent exceptions that could potentially result in unintended columns from being queried\nRelated to  CVE-2024-38820 https://spring.io/security/cve-2024-38820","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Spring LDAP sensitive data exposure for case-sensitive comparisons","id":"CVE-2024-38829","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2024"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Local privilege escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38830"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.4.4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.springframework.ldap:spring-ldap-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-mqvr-2rp8-j7h4"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.4.4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.springframework.ldap:spring-ldap-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.springframework.ldap/spring-ldap-core","source":"GHSA-mqvr-2rp8-j7h4"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["3.2.8"],"introduced":["3.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.springframework.ldap:spring-ldap-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-mqvr-2rp8-j7h4"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["3.2.8"],"introduced":["3.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.springframework.ldap:spring-ldap-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.springframework.ldap/spring-ldap-core","source":"GHSA-mqvr-2rp8-j7h4"}],"prev":{"headline":"CVE-2024-38828: DoS via Spring MVC controller method with byte[] parameter","id":"CVE-2024-38828"},"products":["Spring LDAP"],"published":"2024-12-04","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-12-10","vendors":["Spring"]},"summary":"Locale-dependent string handling in Spring LDAP may expose sensitive data by querying unintended columns during case-sensitive comparisons.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38829/"}
