CVE-2026-53658
Published:August 14, 2026
Updated:August 16, 2026
When fabric-ca is configured with an LDAP backend, the username from HTTP Basic authentication is included in an LDAP uid search filter without proper escaping. An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the CA enrollment endpoint could exploit this to perform LDAP injection before password validation, and potentially steer authentication attempts toward a victim account. Recommendation - All users of fabric-ca with an LDAP backend should update to a fixed version. - For users not using an LDAP backend, no action is required.
