How to fix?

Overview

org.ldaptive:ldaptive is a simple, extensible Java API for interacting with LDAP servers.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation. It was discovered that the implementation used by the vtldap/ldaptive project to check that the server hostname matches the domain name in the subject's CN field was flawed. This can be exploited by a Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, where the attacker can spoof a valid certificate using a specially crafted subject.
