Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization via the username_as_alias parameter in the LDAP authentication process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to resources protected by multi-factor authentication by supplying a crafted username that bypasses alias-specific enforcement. This is only exploitable if the username_as_alias=true parameter is enabled in the LDAP authentication configuration.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by removing all usage of the username_as_alias=true parameter and updating any entity aliases accordingly.
