Title
Apache Derby: LDAP injection vulnerability in authenticator
Summary
A cleverly devised username might bypass LDAP authentication checks. In LDAP-authenticated Derby installations, this could let an attacker fill up the disk by creating junk Derby databases. In LDAP-authenticated Derby installations, this could also allow the attacker to execute malware which was visible to and executable by the account which booted the Derby server. In LDAP-protected databases which weren't also protected by SQL GRANT/REVOKE authorization, this vulnerability could also let an attacker view and corrupt sensitive data and run sensitive database functions and procedures. Mitigation: Users should upgrade to Java 21 and Derby 10.17.1.0. Alternatively, users who wish to remain on older Java versions should build their own Derby distribution from one of the release families to which the fix was backported: 10.16, 10.15, and 10.14. Those are the releases which correspond, respectively, with Java LTS versions 17, 11, and 8.

In LDAP-authenticated \\nDerby installations, this could also allow the attacker to execute \\nmalware which was visible to and executable by the account which booted \\nthe Derby server. In LDAP-protected databases which weren\u0027t also \\nprotected by SQL GRANT/REVOKE authorization, this vulnerability could \\nalso let an attacker view and corrupt sensitive data and run sensitive \\ndatabase functions and procedures.\\n\\nMitigation:\\n\\nUsers should upgrade to Java 21 and Derby 10.17.1.0.\\n\\nAlternatively, users who wish to remain on older Java versions should \\nbuild their own Derby distribution from one of the release families to \\nwhich the fix was backported: 10.16, 10.15, and 10.14. Those are the \\nreleases which correspond, respectively, with Java LTS versions 17, 11, \\nand 8.\\n\\n\"}], \"metrics\": [{\"other\": {\"content\": {\"text\": \"low\"}, \"type\": \"Textual description of severity\"}}], \"problemTypes\": [{\"descriptions\": [{\"description\": \"LDAP Injection\", \"lang\": \"en\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"f0158376-9dc2-43b6-827c-5f631a4d8d09\", \"shortName\": \"apache\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2024-01-03T17:04:10.464Z\"}, \"references\": [{\"tags\": [\"vendor-advisory\"], \"url\": \"https://lists.apache.org/thread/q23kvvtoohgzwybxpwozmvvk17rp0td3\"}], \"source\": {\"defect\": [\"DERBY-7147\"], \"discovery\": \"UNKNOWN\"}, \"title\": \"Apache Derby: LDAP injection vulnerability in authenticator\", \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"Vulnogram 0.1.0-dev\"}}, \"adp\": [{\"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\", \"shortName\": \"CVE\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2024-08-03T14:31:46.301Z\"}, \"title\": \"CVE Program Container\", \"references\": [{\"tags\": [\"vendor-advisory\", \"x_transferred\"], \"url\": \"https://lists.apache.org/thread/q23kvvtoohgzwybxpwozmvvk17rp0td3\"}]}, {\"title\": \"CISA ADP Vulnrichment\", \"metrics\": [{\"cvssV3_1\": {\"scope\": \"UNCHANGED\", \"version\": \"3.1\", \"baseScore\": 9.8, \"attackVector\": \"NETWORK\", \"baseSeverity\": \"CRITICAL\", \"vectorString\": \"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H\", \"integrityImpact\": \"HIGH\", \"userInteraction\": \"NONE\", \"attackComplexity\": \"LOW\", \"availabilityImpact\": \"HIGH\", \"privilegesRequired\": \"NONE\", \"confidentialityImpact\": \"HIGH\"}}, {\"other\": {\"type\": \"ssvc\", \"content\": {\"id\": \"CVE-2022-46337\", \"role\": \"CISA Coordinator\", \"options\": [{\"Exploitation\": \"none\"}, {\"Automatable\": \"yes\"}, {\"Technical Impact\": \"total\"}], \"version\": \"2.0.3\", \"timestamp\": \"2025-06-10T13:43:46.007775Z\"}}}], \"problemTypes\": [{\"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"type\": \"CWE\", \"cweId\": \"CWE-74\", \"description\": \"CWE-74 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component (\u0027Injection\u0027)\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\", \"shortName\": \"CISA-ADP\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2025-06-10T13:44:21.845Z\"}}]}",
