The ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticator in Spring Security 3.2.0 to 3.2.1 and 3.1.0 to 3.1.5 does not check the password length. If the directory allows anonymous binds then it may incorrectly authenticate a user who supplies an empty password.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
