Apache · Apache Traffic Control Traffic Ops · CVE-2021-43350
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Apache Traffic Control Traffic Ops (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue exists due to the lack of neutralization of special elements in the LDAP filter of Apache Traffic Control. An unauthenticated user can exploit this by sending a specially-crafted request to the `POST /login` endpoint of any API version, allowing them to inject unsanitized content into the LDAP filter and potentially execute arbitrary commands in the target system.
**Recommendations**
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `POST /login` endpoint until a patch is available.
Restrict access to the LDAP filter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Avoid using specially-crafted usernames in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
