| − | | + | LDAP Injection is an attack used to exploit web based applications that construct LDAP statements based on user input. When an application fails to properly sanitize user input, it’s possible to modify LDAP statements using a local proxy. This could result in the execution of arbitrary commands such as granting permissions to unauthorized queries, and content modification inside the LDAP tree. |

| − | ==Examples ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Example 1===
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | In a page with a user search form, the following code is responsible to catch input value and generate a LDAP query that will be used in LDAP database.
| |
| − | | |
| − | <input type="text" size=20 name="userName">Insert the username</input>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | The LDAP query is narrowed down for performance and the underlying code for this function might be the following:
| |
| − | String ldapSearchQuery = "(cn=" + $userName + ")";
| |
| − | System.out.println(ldapSearchQuery);
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Case the variable $userName is not validated, it could be possible accomplish LDAP injection, as follows:
| |
| − | *If a user puts “*” on box search, the system may return all the usernames on the LDAP base
| |
| − | *If a user puts “jonys) (| (password = * ) )”, it will generate the code bellow revealing jonys’ password
| |
| − | ( cn = jonys ) ( | (password = * ) )
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ===Example 2===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The following vulnerable code is used in an ASP web application which provides login with LDAP data base.
| |
| − | On line 11, the variable userName is initialized and validated to check if it’s not in blank. Then, the content of this variable is used to construct a LDAP query used by SearchFilter on line 28. The attacker has the chance specify what will be queried on LDAP server, and see the result on the line 33 to 41, are all results and their attributes are displayed.

| − | In the example above, we send the * character in the user parameter which will result in the filter variable in the code to be initialized with (uid=*). The resulting LDAP statement will make the server return any object that contains a uid attribute like username.
