Machine-written summary

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

Spring LDAP (spring-ldap-core) is vulnerable to data exposure in case-sensitive comparisons in versions from 3.0.0 through 3.2.7 and in 2.4.3 and earlier. Locale-dependent behavior in String.toLowerCase() and String.toUpperCase() can cause unintended columns to be queried. The source gives few details on how an attacker would trigger this or what they could reach. Upgrade to spring-ldap-core 3.2.8 or 2.4.4, which are listed as fixed versions.
