Summary

A network attacker positioned between UAA and its LDAP directory can impersonate the directory using any certificate from any trusted CA, then harvest the LDAP bind password and every end-user password sent during simple-bind authentication, and return forged group memberships that grant themselves admin scopes.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of password theft for both users and administrators, potentially leading to unauthorized access to systems and data. An attacker could gain full control over the Cloud Foundry environment.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade UAA to version v78.13.0 or later and cf-deployment to version v56.2.0 or later. In the interim, consider using LDAPS instead of StartTLS.

This affects every deployment that authenticates users against LDAP over StartTLS. Affected versions: UAA versions prior to v78.13.0; Cf-deployment versions prior to v56.2.0.
