Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for 389-ds-base.

CVE-2026-19843[0]:
| A flaw was found in 389-ds-base. The Cockpit 389 Console's LDAP
| editor constructs an ldapsearch command by embedding an LDAP entry's
| distinguished name (DN) into a shell command string without proper
| escaping. An LDAP user with delegated privileges to create or rename
| directory entries could craft a malicious DN containing shell
| metacharacters. When a Cockpit administrator subsequently views the
| entry in the 389 Console, the embedded shell command executes with
| root privileges on the directory server host.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
