Exp

Kanboard is project management software focused on Kanban methodology. Versions 1.2.48 and below have an LDAP Injection vulnerability in the LDAP authentication mechanism. User-supplied input is directly substituted into LDAP search filters without proper sanitization, allowing attackers to enumerate all LDAP users, discover sensitive user attributes, and perform targeted attacks against specific accounts. This issue is fixed in version 1.2.49.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
