NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pki-core:10.6/idm-pki-symkey package and not the pki-core:10.6/idm-pki-symkey package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in dogtag-pki and pki-core. The token authentication scheme can be bypassed with a LDAP injection. By passing the query string parameter sessionID=*, an attacker can authenticate with an existing session saved in the LDAP directory server, which may lead to escalation of privilege.
