2 vulnerabilities found for Red Hat Directory Server 12.8 for RHEL 9 by Red Hat

CVE-2026-19843 (GCVE-0-2026-19843)

Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2026-09-07 14:14 – Updated: 2026-09-08 19:43

Title

389-ds-base: 389-ds-base: command injection via unescaped ldap dn in cockpit 389 console ldap editor

Summary

A flaw was found in 389-ds-base. The Cockpit 389 Console's LDAP editor constructs an ldapsearch command by embedding an LDAP entry's distinguished name (DN) into a shell command string without proper escaping. An LDAP user with delegated privileges to create or rename directory entries could craft a malicious DN containing shell metacharacters. When a Cockpit administrator subsequently views the entry in the 389 Console, the embedded shell command executes with root privileges on the directory server host.

Severity

8.4 (High)
