Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions KACE Systems Deployment and Remote Site appliances version 9.0.146

Description There is an LDAP bind credentials exposure. The captured credentials may provide a higher privilege level on the Active Directory domain.

Recommendations For KACE Systems Deployment and Remote Site appliances version 9.0.146, consider restricting access to the user-authentication settings to prevent attackers from specifying an attacker-controlled LDAP server. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the Test Settings button until a patch is available. Additionally, restrict the use of cleartext credentials in the authentication process to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
