CVE-2026-41573 is an LDAP injection vulnerability in the OpenAM REST API, specifically affecting user query endpoints that process the _queryId parameter. An authenticated attacker can supply LDAP metacharacters via this parameter, causing attacker-controlled input to be incorporated into LDAP query/filter construction without proper neutralization. This can alter the intended LDAP filter logic and enable injection against backend directory queries.
