Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in admin configuration and dashboard read API endpoints when handling authenticated requests to admin API routes. A remote user can send requests to affected endpoints to disclose sensitive information.
The LDAP configuration endpoint returns directory host, port, bind account name, search base, mappings, options, and group configuration, while the LDAP password is masked. Additional affected endpoints expose search backend statistics and health data, dashboard verification results, and aggregate analytics.
