Description
Verify that the application protects against LDAP injection vulnerabilities, or that specific security controls to prevent LDAP injection have been implemented.
- Difficult to understand/define action on below the statement
“or that specific security controls... have been implemented.”
Which controls? Escaping? Input validation? Escaping? Parameterized APIs?
- “application protects against LDAP injection vulnerabilities” – is too broad and lacks measurable criteria. It should be described slightly like mentioning the LDAP escaping RFC rules like 4515 or other important implementations.

Check the cited RFC 4515 context and the proposed alternatives; done means reaching agreed, precise wording for the verification requirement.
