Vulnerability Description

The optional "LDAP contacts provider" could be abused by privileged users to inject LDAP filter strings that allow to access content outside of the intended hierarchy.

Encoding has been added for user-provided fragments that are used when constructing the LDAP query. No publicly available exploits are known.
