CVE-2023-4506: Active Directory Integration / LDAP Integration <= 4.1.10 - LDAP Passback

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)

The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.91% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 59.7% of all records.
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
No fixed version is recorded, but the references include a patch (commit or PR) link.
Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 2.2, NVD 6.5.

Low priority for now. See the fix and affected versions sections below.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

The Active Directory Integration / LDAP Integration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to LDAP Passback in versions up to, and including, 4.1.10. This is due to insufficient validation when changing the LDAP server. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrative access and above, to change the LDAP server and retrieve the credentials for the original LDAP server.
