389-ds-base: 389-ds-base: sasl plain bind installs connection credentials before account-lock check, allowing continued access as a locked account

Published Aug 3, 2026 · Updated Nov 5, 2026 · Assigned by redhat

Description

A flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. During SASL PLAIN authentication, the server installs connection-level bind credentials before performing the account-lock check. If the account is subsequently found to be locked, the bind is reported as failed to the client, but the already-installed authenticated state on the connection is not reverted. A client that supplies valid credentials for an account that has been administratively locked can continue to use the same connection with that account's privileges, defeating account lock as an access-revocation control.
