AI-suggested
Users should upgrade affected Apache MINA SSHD applications to version 2.20.0 or 3.0.0-M6 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Since this is a code-level flaw in the LdapPasswordAuthenticator, upgrading to the fixed versions is the recommended and effective mitigation.
Description
A vulnerability in Apache MINA SSHD's sshd-ldap component versions 1.2.0 to 2.19.0 and 3.0.0-M1 to 3.0.0-M5 allows bypassing authentication checks due to a missing validation in LdapPasswordAuthenticator. This affects SSH servers using sshd-ldap with LdapPasswordAuthenticator configured for password authentication. The core sshd password authentication is not impacted. Upgrading to versions 2.20.0 or 3.0.0-M6 resolves the issue.
