Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-19271 is a high-severity improper neutralization of special elements used in an LDAP query vulnerability in Liderahenk from TUBITAK BILGEM Software Technologies Research Institute, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 3.5.5 as the first without the flaw, so updating Liderahenk to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far.
