WalkthroughLDAP group-membership filter construction now escapes usernames, group names, and user DNs with ChangesLDAP authentication filter escaping
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to Specially crafted directory values can still alter LDAP filters and potentially broaden queries or expose unauthorized directory data.

- Around line 301-303: Update the LDAP filter construction to replace all
placeholders in a single pass using a callback-based replacer, preventing
JavaScript replacement-token interpretation and reprocessing placeholder text
embedded in substituted username, groupName, or dn values. Add regression
coverage for $&, $`, and $' in each value, plus values containing #{groupName}
or #{userdn}, while preserving LDAP filter escaping.

Learning: In the Rocket.Chat repository, do not reference Biome lint rules in code review feedback. Biome is not used even if biome.json exists; only reference Biome rules if there is explicit, project-wide usage documented. For TypeScript files, review lint implications without Biome guidance unless the project enables Biome rules.

Timestamp: 2026-02-26T19:25:44.063Z
Learning: In this repository (RocketChat/Rocket.Chat), Biome lint rules are not used even if a biome.json exists. When reviewing TypeScript files (e.g., packages/ui-voip/src/providers/useMediaSession.ts), ensure lint suggestions do not reference Biome-specific rules. Rely on general ESLint/TypeScript lint rules and project conventions instead.

Timestamp: 2026-05-06T12:21:44.083Z
Learning: Field wrappers in rocket.chat/fuselage-forms (Field, FieldLabel, FieldRow, FieldError, FieldHint) auto-create htmlFor/id associations, aria-describedby, and role="alert" for errors. Do not manually set htmlFor, id, aria-describedby, or role attributes when using these wrappers. This automatic wiring does not apply to plain rocket.chat/fuselage components, which require explicit ID wiring per the accessibility docs. In code reviews, prefer using fuselage-forms wrappers for form fields and verify there is no unnecessary manual ID/aria wiring in files that use these wrappers. If a component uses plain fuselage components, ensure proper id wiring as per docs.

Use one callback-based replacement.
String.prototype.replace treats $&, $`` and $'as replacement tokens. LDAP filter escaping does not escape these JavaScript tokens. A craftedusername, groupName, or dn` can alter the generated filter. Sequential replacements can also reinterpret placeholder text inside an earlier value.
Replace all placeholders in one pass with a function replacer. Add regression cases for these replacement tokens and for values containing #{groupName} or #{userdn}.

Summary
Harden input handling in
apps/meteor/ee/server/lib/ldap/Manager.ts(flagged by multi_agent_ai).Vulnerability
V-001apps/meteor/ee/server/lib/ldap/Manager.ts:296Description: The LDAP Manager in the Enterprise Edition module constructs LDAP search filters by directly replacing placeholders with user-supplied values using simple string replacement without proper LDAP escaping. This allows injection of LDAP filter metacharacters to modify query logic.
Threat Model Context
This is a private Node.js application (not published to npm). Vulnerabilities affect this application's own runtime only.
Changes
apps/meteor/ee/server/lib/ldap/Manager.tsBehavior Preservation
The change is scoped to 1 file on the vulnerable path; it only tightens handling of untrusted input and leaves valid inputs unaffected.
Security Invariant
Regression test
This test guards against regressions — it's useful independent of the code change above.
This patch removes an exploit primitive — a code pattern that, while not independently exploitable today, could be chained with other weaknesses by automated exploit-development tooling. Proactive removal of such primitives raises the bar against increasingly capable automated attack tools.
