CVE-2019-11187
Incorrect Access Control in the LDAP class of GONICUS GOsa through 2019-04-11 allows an attacker to log into any account with a username containing the case-insensitive substring "success" when an arbitrary password is provided.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.75%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
