CVE-2026-19404

Summary

A flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. The CleanAllRUV and Abort CleanAllRUV replication-maintenance extended operations perform no authorization check, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to invoke them when nsslapd-allow-anonymous-access is enabled (the default), or any authenticated low-privilege user to invoke them otherwise. This allows removal of a replica ID from replication metadata, purging of changelog records, and interruption of administrator-initiated cleanup, which can leave replication inconsistent or unavailable.

Weaknesses

  • CWE-862: Missing Authorization

Workarounds

Set nsslapd-allow-anonymous-access to rootdse or off as an interim mitigation. Note this only blocks exploitation by fully unauthenticated (unbound) clients; any connection that has completed a successful bind with any DN, including a low-privileged account, still reaches the vulnerable handlers with no further authorization check. Restrict replication LDAP ports to trusted networks as defense in depth pending a code fix.
