How to fix?

Upgrade org.bouncycastle:bcprov-ext-jdk14 to version 1.75 or higher.

Overview

org.bouncycastle:bcprov-ext-jdk14 is a Java implementation of cryptographic algorithms.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure due to missing validation for the X.500 name of any certificate, subject, or issuer. The presence of a wild card may lead to information disclosure. This could allow a malicious user to obtain unauthorized information via blind LDAP Injection, exploring the environment and enumerating data.

Note:

The exploit depends on the structure of the target LDAP directory as well as what kind of errors are exposed to the user.
