Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection') via the _queryId parameter in the CREST REST API endpoints. An attacker can manipulate LDAP queries by injecting arbitrary LDAP metacharacters, potentially enabling user enumeration and blind LDAP injection by sending crafted requests to the affected endpoints. This is only exploitable if the attacker is authenticated with a valid SSO token.
