- CWE-923 - Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints
Summary
A flaw in the libcurl SASL negotiation for LDAP authentication allows an
incomplete handshake sequence to be misinterpreted as a successful
cryptographic verification. An attacker executing a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM)
attack can inject a premature or shortcut response that bypasses complete peer
validation.
