A user with a valid password for a disabled account would be able to bypass security restrictions and possibly access sensitive information.
MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 1.51%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.51%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
It was found that libpam4j up to and including 1.8 did not properly validate user accounts when authenticating. A user with a valid password for a disabled account would be able to bypass security restrictions and possibly access sensitive information.
