Authentication Bypass with Empty Password in Spring LDAP
Spring LDAP's DirContextAuthenticationStrategy implementations do not reject a bind request where a non-empty username is paired with an empty or null password.
Affected versions:
Spring LDAP 2.4.0 through 2.4.4; 3.2.0 through 3.2.17; 3.3.0 through 3.3.7; 4.0.0 through 4.0.3.
An attacker with a valid username and an empty password can bypass password verification on LDAP servers that permit unauthenticated binds, gaining unauthorized access.
