A vulnerability in OpenDJ server legacy versions prior to 5.1.2 allows an attacker with the proxied-auth privilege to bypass proxy access control checks when using SASL PLAIN authentication with an authorization identity (authzid). This flaw permits privilege escalation by impersonating arbitrary non-root directory users beyond the intended proxy ACI restrictions. The issue arises because the SASL PLAIN authzid path does not enforce the mayProxy scope check, unlike other proxy paths. The vulnerability is critical and can be mitigated by upgrading to version 5.1.2 or later or restricting the proxied-auth privilege until patched.
