Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Yamcs (org.yamcs:yamcs-core) versions before 5.12.7 are affected by an LDAP injection flaw in LdapAuthModule, where the username is placed into an LDAP search filter without escaping. An attacker who already knows a valid password can supply a wildcard username to log in as another account returned by the search, such as the first user found. Upgrade to version 5.12.7 or later. The source gives few details on exact preconditions beyond deployments using LdapAuthModule in their security configuration.
