CVE-2026-94053 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.apache.sshd:sshd-ldap to version 2.20.0, 3.0.0-M6 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to LDAP Injection in the LdapNetworkConnector class, which interpolates the supplied username and password into the LDAP search filter template without escaping RFC 4515 filter metacharacters. An attacker can authenticate as a valid directory user by sending the username * and password *, which the unescaped filter matches against any entry. This affects only SSH servers that use the optional sshd-ldap component configured for password or public key authentication.
