https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-33201

Bouncy Castle For Java before 1.74 is affected by an LDAP injection vulnerability. The vulnerability only affects applications that use an LDAP CertStore from Bouncy Castle to validate X.509 certificates. During the certificate validation process, Bouncy Castle inserts the certificate's Subject Name into an LDAP search filter without any escaping, which leads to an LDAP injection vulnerability. A flaw was found in Bouncy Castle 1.73. This issue targets the fix of LDAP wild cards. • https://bouncycastle.org https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/commit/e8c409a8389c815ea3fda5e8b94c92fdfe583bcc https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/wiki/CVE-2023-33201 https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/08/msg00000.html https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20230824-0008 https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-33201 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2215465 • CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor CWE-295: Improper Certificate Validation •
