CVE-2025-61911 describes a vulnerability in python-ldap versions prior to 3.4.5, where the ldap.filter.escape_filter_chars method, when configured with non-default escape_mode=1, can be bypassed by supplying a crafted list or dict as the assertion_value. This allows for LDAP injection attacks if an application uses this method to sanitize untrusted user input. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.5 (Medium), indicating it can be exploited remotely with low attack complexity, potentially leading to partial disclosure or manipulation of LDAP data. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
