CVE-2014-8764
DokuWiki 2014-05-05a and earlier, when using Active Directory for LDAP authentication, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a user name and password starting with a null (\0) character, which triggers an anonymous bind.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.66%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
