CVE-2026-35563
It was identified that the LDAP client implementation in version 2.1.7 does not verify if the server certificate matches the intended LDAP
hostname. While the underlying code validates the certificate chain
against a trusted authority, the absence of endpoint identification
allows a valid certificate issued for an entirely unrelated host to be
improperly accepted. This oversight leaves the connection highly
vulnerable to server impersonation and complete connection compromise.
