AI-suggested

Upgrade Lemur to version 1.9.0 or later where this vulnerability is fixed. Since the vendor advisory indicates the issue is resolved in 1.9.0, applying this official fix fully mitigates the risk. No other mitigations are specified or necessary once patched.

Description

Lemur manages TLS certificate creation. Prior to 1.9.0, when LDAP TLS is enabled (LDAP_USE_TLS = True), Lemur's LDAP authentication module unconditionally disables TLS certificate verification at the global ldap module level. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker positioned between Lemur and the LDAP server to intercept all authentication credentials. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.9.0.
