CVE-2026-19843 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade 389ds/389-ds-base to version 3.3.1 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the LDAP editor process. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands with root privileges by crafting a malicious distinguished name (DN) containing shell metacharacters, which are embedded unescaped into a shell command string executed by a privileged operator when viewing the entry. This is only exploitable if an LDAP user has delegated create or rename privileges over a subtree and a privileged Cockpit operator subsequently views the crafted entry.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by restricting Cockpit 389 Console access to trusted administrators and limiting delegated LDAP add/rename privileges to trusted accounts.
