The LDAP authentication method in LdapLoginModule in Hazelcast IMDG Enterprise 4.x before 4.0.3, and Jet Enterprise 4.x through 4.2, doesnt verify properly the password in some system-user-dn scenarios. As a result, users (clients/members) can be authenticated even if they provide invalid passwords.

Weakness

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