mitmproxy has an LDAP Injection
Impact
In mitmproxy 12.2.1 and below, the builtin LDAP proxy authentication does not correctly sanitize the username when querying the LDAP server. This allows a malicious client to bypass authentication.
Only mitmproxy instances using the proxyauth option with LDAP are affected. This option is not enabled by default.
Patches
The vulnerability has been fixed in mitmproxy 12.2.2 and above.
