Description

LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is a webfrontend for managing entries (e.g. users, groups, DHCP settings) stored in an LDAP directory. In versions prior to 8.0 the session files include the LDAP user name and password in clear text if the PHP OpenSSL extension is not installed or encryption is disabled by configuration. This issue has been fixed in version 8.0. Users unable to upgrade should install the PHP OpenSSL extension and make sure session encryption is enabled in LAM main configuration.

Affected products

• Debian Linux: 11.0
• ldap-account-manager Ldap Account Manager: before 8.0 — fixed in 8.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: ldap-account-manager Ldap Account Manager 8.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
