description: An issue was discovered in the Pinniped Supervisor with either LADPIdentityProvider or ActiveDirectoryIdentityProvider resources. An attack would involve the malicious user changing the common name (CN) of their user entry on the LDAP or AD server to include special characters, which could be used to perform LDAP query injection on the Supervisor's LDAP query which determines their Kubernetes group membership.
problem types: LDAP query injection in Pinniped Supervisor before v0.17.0 causes a malicious user to escalate privileges by changing Kubernetes group memberships when the attacker is also able to edit their own LDAP user entry
affected:
{
product: Pinniped
