An issue was discovered in LemonLDAP::NG (aka lemonldap-ng) 2.0.13. When using the RESTServer plug-in to operate a REST password validation service (for another LemonLDAP::NG instance, for example) and using the Kerberos authentication method combined with another method with the Combination authentication plug-in, any password will be recognized as valid for an existing user.

Weakness

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