Last modified
CVE-2026-14969 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.4/10 on the CVSS scale. A flaw was found in 389-ds-base where the LDBM backend attribute encryption uses a hardcoded static initialization vector for AES-CBC and 3DES-CBC operations, allowing an attacker with privileged filesystem access to detect plaintext equality across encrypted entries by comparing ciphertext blocks.. EPSS estimates a 0.08% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
