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 · unedited
Authentication bypass condition in LDAP authentication in M-Files server versions before 24.11 supported usage of OpenLDAP configurations that allowed user authentication without a password when the LDAP server itself had the vulnerable configuration.

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 confidence

M-Files server versions before 24.11 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in their LDAP authentication module. The vulnerability is triggered when connecting to OpenLDAP servers that are configured to allow user authentication without a password, which M-Files improperly accepts, allowing unauthenticated access.

MitigationUpgrade M-Files server to version 24.11 or later, and audit/remediate the OpenLDAP server configuration to ensure password-based authentication is required and enforced.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Determine installed M-Files Server version
    Access the M-Files Server administration interface or check the installed software version through system information. In the M-Files admin interface, navigate to the 'About' section or check the version displayed in the server management console.
    Affected if The installed version is less than 24.8.13981.13 or is in the range 24.8.13981.13 to 24.10.x (versions below 24.11)
  2. Verify LDAP authentication module is in use
    In the M-Files Server administration interface, navigate to the authentication settings or user management section to determine if LDAP/Active Directory authentication is enabled and configured.
    Affected if LDAP authentication is enabled and the server connects to an OpenLDAP directory
  3. Inspect LDAP connection configuration
    Review the LDAP authentication settings in M-Files Server to identify the connected LDAP server type and its connection parameters. Check whether the connection is to an OpenLDAP server.
    Affected if The M-Files Server is configured to authenticate against an OpenLDAP server
  4. Audit OpenLDAP server password policy
    Consult with your LDAP administrator or review the OpenLDAP server configuration (slapd.conf or cn=config settings) to determine whether the server permits simple bind operations without a password.
    Affected if The OpenLDAP server allows authentication binds without requiring a password, which M-Files improperly accepts

A user is affected if their M-Files Server version is below 24.11, LDAP authentication is enabled, and the connected OpenLDAP server permits passwordless authentication binds.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 24.8.13981.13 / 24.11 or later
Fixed in 24.8.13981.1324.11
Interim mitigation

Upgrade M-Files server to version 24.11 or later, and audit/remediate the OpenLDAP server configuration to ensure password-based authentication is required and enforced.

Recommended fix High confidence

M-Files Server 24.11 or later (24.8.13981.13+)

  1. 1. Back up your current M-Files Server configuration and database before proceeding
  2. 2. Stop the M-Files Server service
  3. 3. Download M-Files Server version 24.11 or later (or version 24.8.13981.13 or later) from the official M-Files website or your customer portal
  4. 4. Install the upgraded M-Files Server version on your server
  5. 5. Start the M-Files Server service
  6. 6. Verify LDAP authentication is functioning correctly with the new version
  7. 7. Test that users can authenticate with their proper passwords (not without a password)
Caveat As with any server upgrade, test thoroughly in a non-production environment before deploying to production
