CVE-2015-7294 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) CWE-90 vulnerability in ldapauth-fork. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2015-7294 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
LDAP Injection in ldapauth
Real-World Exposure
ldapauth-fork📦ldapauthReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects npm packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Versions 2.2.4 and earlier of ldapauth-fork are affected by an LDAP injection vulnerability. This allows an attacker to inject and run arbitrary LDAP commands via the username parameter.
Recommendation
ldapauth is not actively maintained, having not seen a publish since 2014. As a result, there is no patch available. Consider updating to use ldapauth-fork 2.3.3 or greater.
Affected Packages

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for ldapauth-fork. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update ldapauth-fork to 2.3.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2015-7294 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2015-7294 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2015-7294. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2015-7294 in your dependencies?
O3 detects CVE-2015-7294 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
