CVE-2026-94053 is an LDAP injection authentication-bypass vulnerability in the optional sshd-ldap component of Apache MINA SSHD. The component integrates server-side SSH password and public-key authentication with LDAP. In affected releases, LDAP filter metacharacters are not escaped when constructing authentication filters, allowing authentication to succeed with wildcard values supplied as both the username and password. The issue affects versions 1.2.0 through 2.19.0 and 3.0.0-M1 through 3.0.0-M5, only when sshd-ldap is configured for password or public-key authentication.
