The cherokee_validator_ldap_check function in validator_ldap.c in Cherokee 1.2.103 and earlier, when LDAP is used, does not properly consider unauthenticated-bind semantics, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via 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.
