Executive Summary

CVE-2025-59518 is a shell command injection vulnerability in the Safe Jail component of LemonLDAP::NG. It occurs because the Safe Jail does not localize the underscore character (_) during rule evaluation, allowing an administrator who can edit rules evaluated by Safe Jail to execute arbitrary commands on the server. [1]

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows an administrator with rule editing privileges to execute arbitrary shell commands on the server, which can lead to full compromise of the server's confidentiality, integrity, and availability. [1]

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include localizing the underscore variable before executing any administrator-supplied code in the Safe Jail component to prevent shell command injection. Additionally, enforcing SELinux policies may help block arbitrary command execution, although this has not been confirmed. It is also advisable to update LemonLDAP::NG to versions 2.16.7 or later, or 2.21.3 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. [1]
