CVE-2007-0433
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedUnspecified vulnerability in BEA AquaLogic Enterprise Security 2.0 through 2.0 SP2, 2.1 through 2.1 SP1, and 2.2, when using Active Directory LDAP for authentication, allows remote authenticated users to access the server even after the account has been disabled.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceBEA AquaLogic Enterprise Security has an authentication bypass vulnerability when using Active Directory LDAP. Disabled user accounts in Active Directory do not properly trigger access revocation, allowing previously authenticated users to continue accessing the server even after account disablement.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed AquaLogic versionLocate the BEA AquaLogic Service Bus installation directory and check the version file or use the product's admin console to view version informationAffected if Version is 2.0, 2.1, or 2.2
-
Confirm Active Directory LDAP authentication is in useReview the security configuration or identity provider settings in the AquaLogic admin console to verify that Active Directory LDAP is configured as the authentication mechanismAffected if AD LDAP is the configured authentication provider
-
Check LDAP attribute synchronization configurationExamine the LDAP directory configuration settings in AquaLogic to determine if user account status attributes from Active Directory are being properly synchronized and evaluated during authenticationAffected if LDAP attribute mapping does not enforce account disablement status from AD
-
Verify session persistence after account disablementTest by disabling a user account in Active Directory that has previously authenticated to AquaLogic, then attempt to access the system using that disabled account's credentialsAffected if Access is granted despite the account being disabled in AD
User is affected if running AquaLogic Service Bus versions 2.0-2.2 with Active Directory LDAP authentication and disabled AD accounts can still access the system.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataReview and enforce proper LDAP attribute synchronization between Active Directory and the application, or migrate to a supported identity management solution as this is a legacy EOL product.
