Low risk12th percentile - higher than 12% of all known CVEs
Summary
The Auth0 AD/LDAP Connector is vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issues due to improper HTML encoding of data in search results and updater log content displayed in the admin panel. An authenticated user with privileges to modify directory attributes, or a low-privileged local user on the host, could insert script content that executes in an administrator's browser.
Risk Assessment
Script execution in an administrator's browser could lead to session theft, unauthorized actions, or administrator account compromise.
Recommendation
Upgrade the Auth0 AD/LDAP Connector to the latest patched version and restrict user privileges to modify directory attributes.
Other vulnerabilities in Auth0 AD/LDAP Connector
See all- CVE-2026-85983High
The Auth0 AD/LDAP Connector improperly processes a configuration value during service startup. This allows a low-privileged user on the host system to modify the connector's configuration. When the service restarts, the modified configuration can lead to code execution with the privileges of the service account.
- CVE-2026-85981Medium
The administrative panel of Auth0 AD/LDAP Connector (versions 6.5.0 and earlier) listens on the local loopback interface without requiring authentication. This allows a local, low-privileged user or process to access the panel's management endpoints without credentials. Through these endpoints, a local user can read configuration details, including plaintext Active Directory service account credentials, and modify connector settings.
Original NVD description (English source)
The Auth0 AD/LDAP Connector is vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issues due to improper HTML encoding of data in search results and updater log content displayed in the admin panel. An authenticated user with privileges to modify directory attributes, or a low-privileged local user on the host where the connector is installed, could insert script content. This script content could then execute in an administrator's browser when they view the affected search results or update logs.
