Descriptions

The Staff / Employee Business Directory for Active Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to LDAP Passback in versions up to, and including, 1.2.3. This is due to insufficient validation when changing the LDAP server. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrative access and above, to change the LDAP server and retrieve the credentials for the original LDAP server.

El complemento Staff / Employee Business Directory para Active Directory para WordPress es vulnerable a LDAP Passback en versiones hasta la 1.2.3 inclusive. Esto se debe a una validación insuficiente al cambiar el servidor LDAP. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso administrativo y superior, cambien el servidor LDAP y recuperen las credenciales del servidor LDAP original.
