Machine-written summary

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

Apache Druid versions 0.17.0 through 35.x, when the druid-basic-security extension is used with LDAP authentication, are vulnerable to an authentication bypass. A remote, unauthenticated attacker who knows an existing username and submits an empty password can gain access to Druid resources, including data and possibly administrative functions, if the LDAP server permits anonymous binds. Upgrade to Druid 36.0.0 or later, or disable anonymous bind on the LDAP server as an interim measure.
