**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** LDAP Account Manager (LAM) versions prior to 9.0 **Description** LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is a php webfrontend for managing entries stored in an LDAP directory. In affected versions, LAM does not properly sanitize configuration values set via `mainmanage.php` and `confmain.php`, allowing an attacker to set arbitrary config values. This can be achieved by inserting a newline into certain config fields, followed by the value, effectively smuggling arbitrary config values into a config file. The values are written to `config.cfg` or `serverprofile.conf` in the format of `settingsName: settingsValue` line-by-line. **Recommendations** For versions prior to 9.0, upgrade to version 9.0 to address the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to `mainmanage.php` and `confmain.php` to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `settingsName` and `settingsValue` fields in the affected configuration files until the issue is resolved.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** LDAP Account Manager (LAM) versions prior to 8.7 **Description** LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is a web frontend for managing entries stored in an LDAP directory. LAM's log configuration allows specifying arbitrary paths for log files. An attacker could exploit this by creating a PHP file and causing LAM to log some PHP code to this file. When the file is then accessed via the web, the code would be executed. The issue is mitigated by the following: an attacker needs to know LAM's master configuration password to change the main settings, and the web server needs write access to a directory that is accessible via the web. LAM itself does not provide any such directories. **Recommendations** As a temporary workaround, consider limiting access to LAM configuration pages to authorized users. Update to version 8.7 or later to resolve the issue.
